Fotucheng
- (?-348) A monk of Central Asian origin who came to Loyang in 310 for the purpose of establishing a center for the dissemination of Buddhism. He had studied in his youth in Udyāna 烏仗那國 and was a thaumaturge. The miracles he performed are thought to have made a significant impact on the ruler of the time, Shile 石勒, who took him in as an advisor. Fotucheng was also one of the teachers of Daoan 道安, and is said to have built eight hundred and ninety-three temples and to have had a following of more than ten thousand. His name is also written 佛圖磴 or 佛圖橙; he is also called 佛陀僧訶 Buddhasiṃha. 〔翻譯名義集 T 2131.54.1073b10
