Ratnamati was an eminent monk who came from central India to China and arrived at Songshan Shaolin Temple in 508 A.D. (the 1st year of the reign of Yongping of the Northern Wei Dynasty). Here he was arranged by Dharma master Batuo (Buddhabhadra) to translate the Dasabhumikasutra sastra in the Scripture Translation Hall. Furthermore, he worked on to translate additional texts such as the Saddharmapundarika Sutra and preached Buddhism to his disciples in Shaolin Temple. His devotion to translation and preaching on scriptures has played an important role in Sino-Indian Buddhist exchanges.
