The name of Indian missionaries who carried on their work in China during the first two centuries and a half of the introduction of Buddhism is legion. Down to 300 A.C. all the translators of Buddhist texts into Chinese were non-Chinese scholars. While Fa Hien was studying Buddhist culture at first hand in India (399-413) the great Indian missionary Kumārajīva was working in China (385-417). With Kumārajīva and Fa Hien we enter a new era of Indo-Chinese relationships.
