*''Born: [[350]]''
*''Died: c. [[409]]''
Kumarajiva was one of a number of early translators of [[Buddhism|Buddhist]] texts into Chinese. Originally from Central Asia, he first came to [[Chang'an]] in [[401]], and directed a thousand monks in the project of translating a number of texts. Among these were works which significantly introduced Madhyamika ideas into China, such as the doctrine of emptiness known as ''sunyata''.
