At eight years of age, he entered the religious life, serving the foreign śramaṇa Zhu Gaozuo as his master. He memorised ten thousand words of sūtras each day, retaining them as soon as they met his eyes. By nature pure and admirable, his practice was rigorous and ascetic, and his resolve devoted to love of learning: he travelled ten thousand leagues in search of masters. He thus read widely in the Six Classics and immersed his mind in the seven categories of books; yet worldly affairs, praise, and blame never troubled his heart. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.30](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.30) - [Next: 1.32](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.32) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059~en-mt.1.31) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (4) - [翻譯名義集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2131.1.201) — 法雲, Classical Chinese - [出三藏記集](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2145.13.16) — 僧祐, Classical Chinese - [開元釋教錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2154.2.9.5) — 智昇, Classical Chinese - [古今譯經圖紀](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2151.2.3) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2059.1.31) · Pramāṇa
