Kasyapa Matanga

From central India, Kasyapa Matanga was well-versed in both the Mahayana and Theravada teachings. During the reign of Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty (67 A.D.), he brought Buddhist sutras and sculptures to Luoyang along with Gobharana. Together, they translated The Sutra of Forty-two Chapters and are known as the earliest translators of Buddhist sutras into Chinese.
