Nine centuries after Gautama, Maitreya, [11] or the Buddha ofkindness, came down from the heaven of the Bodhisattva to thelecture-hall in the kingdom in central India at the request of theBuddhas elect, and discounted five shastras. After that two Buddhistfathers who were brothers, composed many more shastras and cleared upthe meaning of the Mah[=a]yan[=a]. In 629 A. D. , in his twenty-ninthyear, the famous Chinese pilgrim, Gen-j[=o] (Hiouen-thsang), studiedthese shastras and sciences, and retu...rning to China in 645 A. D. , beganhis great work of translation, at which he continued for nineteen years. One of his disciples was the author of a hundred commentaries on sutrasand shastras. The doctrines of Gen-j[=o] and his disciples were at fourdifferent times, from 653 to 712 A. D. , imported into Japan, and named, after the monasteries in which they were promulgated, the Northern andSouthern Transmission.
