Bodhiruci (C. Putiliuzhi 菩提流支) (6th century CE) was a Buddhist monk from North India active in the area of Luoyang, China during the Northern Wei dynasty. Bodhiruci is regarded as the patriarch of the Di lun zong, which used his translation of the Dasabhumika-sutra (and commentary) as its chief object of study.[1]

His translations include:

This Bodhiruci should not be confused with 8th century Bodhiruci who translated the Ratnameghasūtra.
