Buddhadatta
Person南印度 Uragapura 的一位學問僧，曾於 Anurādhapura 大寺（Mahāvihāra）修學，相傳與佛音尊者有過會面，著有《律決斷》（Vinayavinicchaya）《阿毗達摩入門》（Abhidhammāvatāra）等多部論著。
He lived in Uragapura in South India and wrote his works in the monastery of Bhūtamaṅgalagāma in the Coḷa country, his patron being Accutavikkama.
He studied, however, at the Mahāvihāra in Anurādhapura. Tradition says (e.g., SadS., p.55) that he met Buddhaghosa.
Buddhadatta’s works include the Vinayavinicchaya, the Uttaravinicchaya, the Abhidhammāvatāra and the Rūpārūpavibhāga. The Madhuratthavilāsinī and the Jinālāṅkāra are also sometimes ascribed to him. Svd.1195,1199; Gv.59,66,69.
