略论十世纪前来华梵僧

A Trial Discussion on Buddhist Monks Coming to China before the 10th Century

公元前后直至十世纪,是佛教在中国的集中发展期,也是中印间文化交往的繁荣期。在此过程中,梵僧持续不断地来到中国,担当着佛教文化传播者的重要角色,对佛教在中国的确立、发展以及伴随这一过程的中印文化交往起到了极大的推动作用。

The long historical period from about the Christian Era to the 10th century is the important period for development of Buddhism in China and prosperous age of cultural exchange between China and India. Buddhist monks came to China from India one after another in this long period and acted as Buddhist propagators. They played a very important role in promoting the spread, development and taking roots of Buddhism in China, and cultural exchange between the two neighbors.
