Daorong (道融). An eminent disciple of Kumārajīva during the Later Qin dynasty.[1]
Daorong was from Linlü 林慮 in Jijun 汲郡 (present-day Jixian 汲縣 in Henan 河南).[1] He is said to have left home at the age of twelve, studying extensively at first in Confucian and Daoist literature. Upon the arrival of Kumārajīva he devoted himself to the study of Buddhism, and was accepted into the great masterʼs translation bureau.[1]
Daorong also lectured on the Madhyamaka-śāstra, Lotus Sutra, and other texts.[1]
He wrote extensive commentaries on:[1]
- Lotus Sutra,
- Mahāprajñāpāramitā-sūtra 大品般若,
- Suvarṇa-prabhāsôttama-sūtra 金光明經,
- Ten Stages Sutra 十地經,
- Vimalakīrti-sūtra 維摩經
- and others.
He died at the age of 74.[1]
