According to historical records, Dharma lived to be 150 years old. Did he really live to that age?

According to historical records, he is at least 150 years old. It is said that Dharma first arrived in China on the land of present-day Guangzhou, China, and then went to the place where the Northern Wei Dynasty was located. Asked how old he was, he said 150. Then he passed Luoyang on his way to the Northern Wei Dynasty. After seeing Yongning Temple Pagoda in Luoyang, I lamented the exquisite architecture and said that I was 60 years old. Later, according to ancient records, Dharma first taught in Shaolin Temple and then in Ding Lin Temple under Xiong 'er Mountain, which lasted for five years. During the reign of Liang Wudi (A.D. 536), Dharma died and said that he was 150 years old before he died. But I don't know why Dharma said that when he came to China, he was 150 years old and died.

And the cause of Dharma's death at that time is a mystery. Some people say that he was poisoned by jealousy six times by a monk in the Northern Wei Dynasty, but he didn't poison Dharma, but Dharma soon repented of something and died. Others say that Buddhism "belongs only to the west" and goes to the western paradise to practice Buddhism.

However, it is recorded that when the envoys of the Northern Wei Dynasty returned to Luoyang from the Western Regions two years after the death of Dharma, they met Dharma on the way. At that time, Dharma went west with a shoe in one hand and bare feet. Song Yun saw this and asked Dharma, "Where is Master going?" Dharma replied, "I'm going to the Western Heaven. When you return to Beijing, don't say you saw me, or there will be disaster. " This is also why some people say that Buddhism went to the Western Heaven to practice Buddhism.

In fact, no one knows how old Buddhism is. After all, he kept saying that he was 150 years old from beginning to end. No one knows whether this is true or not.
