汉人第一僧略考

A Query about Who Was the First Bonze in China

对于谁是汉人第一位出家僧侣 ,佛学界主要有两种意见 ,一是曹魏时出家的朱士行 ,一是东汉的严佛调。裒集相关资料 ,略作考辨 。

In the world if Buddhism there are two opinions about the issue of the first Chinese bonze. One opinion is that Zhushixing who became a bonze in Wei Dynasty was the first bonze in China, the other considers YanFudiao to be the first bonze. In my view,Yanfodiao became a bonze earlier than Zhushixing.
