Who is the author of the classic Buddhist poem Ten Similes?
This is the only existing poem by Kuluo Moshe, a great Buddhist sutra translator at the end of Qin Dynasty. The original volume of Yi Wen Ji is seventy-six, and the collection of poems is thirty-seven. This work is probably a tribute to the Buddhist singing of the monks at that time. Because of its sentence pattern and rhyme, it was included in the poetry collection by later generations. The title cloud is "ten metaphors" and I don't know what it means. Buddhism often uses metaphors in order to promote Confucian classics and let everyone know. For example, the famous Classic of Hundred Metaphors uses 100 vivid and interesting metaphors to illustrate Buddhist classics. There are "ten metaphors" in the Great Sun Classic, in which ten metaphors such as dreams, phantoms, hidden moons and floating waves are used to illustrate that everything in the world is uncomfortable because of karma. This may use its meaning.
