Sengrui (Sēng ruì 僧睿; 371–438 CE) was a Buddhist monk and scholar.[1] He was born in what is now Henan. He became a monk at age 18, traveling extensively from age 24, meeting among others Dao An.[2]
He ended up in Changan, where he took part in Kumarajiva's translation project. Sengrui wrote the introduction to Kumarajiva's translation of the Lotus Sutra.[3] In fact, he is generally seen as one of four Kumarajiva's principal disciples.[4]
