Abstract

Kumarajiva is one of the "four translators" in the history of Buddhist scripture translation. He has translated many classics in his entire life. His translation has a far-reaching impact on Buddhist Scripture Translation in China and even the whole world, as well as in the fields of philosophy and literature. Therefore, the study of his theory and thoughts are of great benefit to us in learning translation theory and engaging in translation work. This paper will analyze Kumarajiva's Buddhist Scripture Translation Thought from many aspects and summarize his influence on Buddhism and future translators, with the aim to make more translation learners deepen their understanding and understanding of Kumarajiva' s translation theory.
