Seng-chao (374–414). A second-generation master of the San-lun school in early Chinese Buddhism. He was one of the most gifted disciples of the great translator Kumārajīva, and expounded the complex Indian-based thought of the Madhyamaka school in a Chinese idiom in works such as The Immutability of Things, The Emptiness of the Unreal, and Prajñā is Not Knowledge. In these works he criticized commonly held ideas about the way in which things exist, the sequence of events (particularly causes and effects) in time, and conventional knowledge as lacking in profound wisdom.
