Person: Faxian, 法顯

Glass (2008): 190 n. 17, notes that Faxian's dates have been the subject of argument. Legge suggests he might have been as young as 25 when he went to India (Legge 1886: 3). Deeg suggests he might have been thirty or forty (Deeg 2005 = Faxian gao seng zhuan monograph, 29). The traditional dates would mean he was already 63 when he departed.

Date: 320?-420?
