Shīzǐ bǐqiū 師子比丘
A late-Yuán Buddhist monk identified in the colophons as a Western-Regions (xī-yù 西域) bhikṣu resident at the Dà Cí’ēn-sì 大慈恩寺 of Jīn-tái 金臺 (a literary by-name for Yuán Dà-dū / modern Beijing). Lifedates not transmitted; he is known only through his glossatorial annotations on Zǐ-chéng’s 子成 《折疑論》 KR6r0151 (T2118), which expand the running text with phonetic glosses, lexical paraphrases, and explanatory parentheticals — a style consistent with the Yuán-period convention of pairing a Han-Chinese monk-author with a non-Han monk-annotator under imperial-monastic patronage at the capital. He is otherwise unattested in the Buddhist biographical literature; the name “Shī-zǐ” (Sanskrit Siṃha) was a common dharma-name among Central-Asian and Indian monks and so does not by itself identify him further.
