Go Chodrub (T. 'gos chos grub འགོས་ཆོས་གྲུབ།; C. Facheng 法成) (b.755? - d.849) was a Tibetan translator who translated texts from Chinese into Tibetan.[1] He appears to have been based at Xiuduo Monastery 修多寺, in Dunhuang.[1]
He is best known as the translator of Woncheuk's Saṃdhinirmocanasūtra Commentary which was subsequently known in Tibet as The Great Chinese Commentary (rgya cher 'grel pa).[1][2]
Other translations from Chinese attributed to Go Chodrub include:
- Laṅkāvatārasūtra (D 107)[1]
- Yulanben jing (S. Ullambana Sutra); this text is included in only three editions of the Tibetan Kangyur.[3]
- Qianshou jing (S. Nīlakaṇṭhakasūtra; T. mgrin pa sngon po can [gyi mdo])[4]
- Sutra of the Wise and the Foolish (D 341)[5]
- Suvarṇaprabhāsottamasūtra (T. gser 'od dam pa'i mdo གསེར་འོད་དམ་པའི་མདོ; "Golden Light Sutra")
