Sudarshana (Tib. ལེགས་མཐོང་ , Wyl. legs mthong) was entrusted with the teachings of the Buddha by Krishna, the sixth [[Seven patriarchs|patriarch. Like Krishna, he also made efforts to end animal sacrifices and tamed wild places in the west of India. He travelled extensively to the south, even to island kingdoms, as well as in the north along the borders of China. After Sudarshana's passing, as the dharma spread across India and Asia, the Sangha was led by various convocations of arhats and other realized masters. [1]
