Saṅgharakṣa 僧伽羅剎 (also 眾護, the xiéyì “Saṅgha-protector”; lifedates uncertain, fl. late first / early second century CE in Gandhāra). A senior Sarvāstivāda meditation master and kavi of the pre-Kāṇiṣka period, traditionally counted among the line of great teachers preceding the Council of Kashmir. Sēngyòu’s Chū sānzàng jì jí (T2145) and Huìjiǎo’s Gāosēng zhuàn (T2059) credit him with two principal works transmitted to China: the verse Buddha-carita known in Chinese as the Sēngqié-luóchà suǒjí jīng 僧伽羅剎所集經 (T194), translated under Fú Jiān 苻堅 in 384, and the Yogācārabhūmi (the older Sarvāstivāda meditation treatise, not the later Maitreya work) translated by Dharmarakṣa as [[KR6i0243|Xiūxíng dàodì jīng 修行道地經 (T606)]] in 284 CE and partially earlier by Ān Shìgāo as [[KR6i0244|Dàodì jīng 道地經 (T607)]]. Saṅgharakṣa’s Yogācārabhūmi is a key witness to the prehistory of yoga meditation theory in Indian Buddhism. Per DILA Buddhist Person Authority A002195.
