【Kang Senghui】The eldest son of the Prime Minister of Sogdiana. His family had resided in India for generations. Before he reached the age of study, he lost both parents. By nature deeply filial, when the mourning was complete, he entered the path. He maintained high and pure conduct, being magnanimous, elegant, and accommodating. His comprehension encompassed the three pitakas, and his wisdom penetrated the five sciences. Eloquent in statecraft, he was quite adept in literary composition. Considering that the Wu region was only newly exposed to the Buddha’s Dharma and great transformation was not yet complete, he wished to establish stupas and monasteries south of the Yangtze. In the fourth year of Chiwu, carrying his staff he arrived in Jiankang, translating scriptures in the capital of Yang.
