Fo-Sho-Hing-Tsan-King (A Life of Buddha)

This book is called “A Life of Buddha” by Asvaghosha Bodhisattva, in Chinese known as the “Fo-Sho-Hing-Tsan-King”. It was translated from Sanskrit into Chinese by Dharmaraksha (or Dharmakshara) A.D. 420.

The most reliable of the lives of Buddha known in China is that translated in the present volume, the Buddhacarita-kavya. It was no doubt written by the Bodhisattva Asvaghosha, who was the twelfth Buddhist patriarch, and a contemporary of Kanishka.

The full text of the The Fo-Sho-Hing-Tsan-King (A Life of Buddha) in English is available here and publically accesible (free to read online). Of course, I would always recommend buying the book so you get the latest edition.
