In the Later Qin, Dharma Master Daoqi was a disciple of Kumārajīva. He maintained the Vinaya with great diligence, and the ruler of Qin held him in high esteem. Ever since the venerable Jīva entered the Pass, monks and nuns numbered in the tens of thousands. Thereupon, the office of Saṅgha Rector was instituted, and an edict said: 'The Great Dharma flowing east is at its peak today, and monks and nuns have gradually multiplied. It is fitting to establish guidelines and proclaim far-reaching regulations so as to save decaying traditions. Dharma Master Daoqi early gained renown for his learning, and later was praised for his virtue; he may serve as the National Saṅgha Rector. He is to be provided with an administrative staff and given resources equivalent to the rank of Palace Attendant, with two dispatch wagons and two sheep-drawn carts each.' Further, Sengqian and Chanhui were appointed as Rectifiers of the Assembly, and Faqin and Huibin as Registrars of Monks, with differing ranks and grades. Their imperial favour and trust grew day by day, and each was assigned thirty bodyguards and personal attendants (Brief History of the Saṅgha). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.75](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.75) - [Next: 2.77](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.77) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037~en-mt.2.76) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [佛祖歷代通載](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2036.7.54) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.76](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2037.2.76) · Pramāṇa
