bio	Zhu Fonian. (J. Jiku Butsunen; K. Ch'uk Pullyǒm 竺佛念) (d.u.). A prolific early Chinese translator, who was active between the latter fourth and early fifth centuries. A native of Liangzhou, he collaborated with Buddhayaśas in the translation of the Dīrghāgama, with Dharmanandin in the translation of the Ekottarāgama, and the "Four-Part Vinaya" (Sifen lü), the Dharmaguptaka recension of the vinaya, which eventually becomes the definitive version of the vinaya in the Sinitic tradition. He was also involved in the translation of such texts as the Aṣṭasāhasrikāprajñāpāramitā, the Udānavarga, a Sarvāstivāda anthology of aphorisms, and the Jñānaprasthāna, the central treatise of the Sarvāstivāda Abhidharma. Some indigenous Chinese scriptures, such as the Pusa yingluo benye jing, are also attributed to him. (Source: "Zhu Fonian." In The Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism, 1058.
