'''Vinītaruci''' (died 594) was an Indian Buddhist monk who preached in China and Vietnam.<br />
<br />
He came to [[Changan]] in 573 and spent seven years in China. In 580 he came to support the preaching of [[Buddhism in Vietnam]], being notable as one of the first direct influences on Vietnam in the [[History of Buddhism in India]] and in the development of [[Vietnamese Thiền]] or [[Chinese Chán]] [[Zen Buddhism]] in Vietnam.
