He became a disciple of a monk of the Mahīshāsaka 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, the vinaya text of the Mahīshāsaka school, at Lung-kuang-ssu temple in Chien-k’ang along with Tao-sheng and Hui-yen, disciples of Kumārajīva.
