陈那菩萨（梵名दिन्नाग，Dinnāga 或 Mahādinnāga，巴利文作Dinna，生卒年不详，约440年－520年），意译为域龙、大域龙，又译为童授。

为瑜伽行唯识学派世亲论师门徒，除宣扬其师观点，亦改革佛教因明学，创立三支因明，即新因明。

与其师世亲、再传弟子法称共为二胜六庄严之一。

佛灭后一千一百年顷，陈那出生于南印度案达罗国，从小乘犊子部出家，后改学大乘，师事世亲菩萨，其天资聪敏，能言善辩，曾击败很多外道论师，为瑜伽行唯识学派代表人物之一，对佛教逻辑学的发展作出重大贡献，被看作新因明之祖。

在唯识学方面，陈那首创见分、相分、自证分“三分说”。

在因明方面建树颇多。

集量论 to GM Lu - 思量轮 －GM Lu likened this to Quantum Physics! 

And he stressed the importance of "arming" oneself with knowledge from relevant books on Buddha's teachings as well.

And, Stressed Once again about the attributes of True or Fake Vajra-Masters!

Hahaha!

Most of the time, what GM Lu quoted fell on deaf ears!

Because most don't even culture the habit of researches for self advancement and enhancement!

When he asked about Sukhasiddhi, making a reference to Sudhana Kumara's 53 meetings recorded in Gandavyuha Sutra, part of Flower adornment/Avatamsaka sutra; most looked blankly back at GM Lu! 

[Sudhanakumâra (simplified Chinese: 善财童子; traditional Chinese: 善財童子; pinyin: Shàncáitóngzǐ;Wade–Giles: Shan-ts'ai-t'ung-tzu), mainly known as Sudhana and Shancai or Shancai Tongzi in Chinese, and translated as Child of Wealth, is the protagonist in the next-to-last and longest chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra.]

[Sukhasiddhi was an Indian teacher of Vajrayana Buddhism and master of meditation. She was born in west Kashmir to a large, poor family. She is mother of three sons and three daughters. Once she gave a beggar the only food in the house and was expelled from home.

She traveled to Oḍḍiyāna, thought to be the land of dakas and dakinis, and there she met Virupa, a mahasiddha who became her guru. 

Very quickly Sukhasiddhi became completely realized and together with Niguma, as well as Rāhula, Maitripada and Vajrasapana, was the root teacher of the Tibetan yogi Khyungpo Nenjor, who founded the Shangpa Kagyu school of Tibetan Buddhism.]

Dear all, 

Once again, do not waste time on frivolous pursuits that will most likely do more harm to you than good!

Try and read what GM Lu shared and do more indepth research into them!

Cheers all
