Dharmapāla, also known as Hùfǎ Púsà in Chinese, was a prominent scholar of the Vijñānavāda (Yogācāra) school in 7th-century India. He is renowned for his commentaries on Mahāyāna sutras, particularly his *Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi* (Demonstration of Consciousness-Only), which profoundly influenced later Buddhist philosophy in East Asia.
