六朝时经海路往来的僧人及其佛经译介

Monks Travelling by Sea and their Translation of Buddhist Scriptures in Six Dynasties

南亚是佛教的发源地,东南亚是佛教流行的地区。六朝时期是佛教继续传入中国方兴未艾之时。海路也传入是佛教入华的重要路线,中亚、南亚、东南亚僧人经海路入华,中土僧人经海路往返,他们在佛教东传和佛经翻译方面成就卓著。

South Asia is the cradle of Buddhism, and Buddhism is popular in Southeast Asia. In the Six Dynas- ties, Buddhism was continually introduced to China mainly by sea. Monks of Central Asia, South Asia and Southeast Asia came into China by sea and Chinese monks travelled to and fro as well as by sea. Both of them made a great contribution to Buddhism＇ s spreading eastward and the translation of Buddhist scriptures.
