{{Chinese Buddhist Canon}}
In China, there was extensive translation of many Prajñāpāramitā texts beginning in the second century CE. The main translators include: [[Lokaksema (Buddhist monk)|Lokakṣema]] (支婁迦讖), [[Zhi Qian|Zhī Qīan]] (支謙), [[Dharmarakṣa]] (竺法護), Mokṣala (無叉羅), [[Kumārajīva]] (鳩摩羅什, 408 CE), [[Xuánzàng]] (玄奘), Făxián (法賢) and [[Dānapāla]] (施護).{{sfn|Orsborn|2012|p=41}} These translations were very influential in the development of [[East Asian Mādhyamaka]] and on [[Chinese Buddhism]].

[[Xuanzang]] (fl. c. 602–664) was a Chinese scholar who traveled to India and returned to China with three copies of the ''[[Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra]]'' which he had secured from his extensive travels.<ref name="Wriggins, Sally Hovey 2004 p.206">Wriggins, Sally Hovey (2004).

After a suite of dreams quickened his decision, Xuanzang determined to render an unabridged, complete volume, faithful to the original of 600 fascicles.<ref>Wriggins, Sally Hovey (2004).

An important PP text in East Asian Buddhism is the ''[[Da zhidu lun|Dazhidulun]]'' (大智度論, T no. 1509), a massive commentary on the ''Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā Prajñāpāramitā'' translated by [[Kumārajīva]] (344–413 CE).<ref name=":2" /> There are also later commentaries from Zen Buddhists on the Heart and Diamond sutra and [[Kūkai]]'s commentary (9th century) is the first-known Tantric commentary.
