Buddhajiva
仏陀什 (n.d.) (Skt; Jpn Buddaju)

    A monk of the Mahishasaka school in Kashmir, ancient India, during the fifth century. He became a disciple of a monk of the Mahishasaka school and studied that school's vinaya, or monastic rules of discipline. He went to China in 423 and translated The Fivefold Rules of Discipline at Lung-kuang-ssu temple in Chien-k'ang along with Tao-sheng and Hui-yen, disciples of Kumarajiva. The Fivefold Rules of Discipline, the vinaya of the Mahishasaka school, is a translation of the Sanskrit text that Fa-hsien, the noted Chinese Buddhist pilgrim, brought from Sri Lanka to China in the early fifth century.
