Vajrabodhi (Sanskrit: वज्रबोधि, Chinese: 金剛智; pinyin: Jīngāng Zhì, 671–741 CE) was an Indian esoteric Buddhist monk and teacher in Nalanda and later in Tang China.

From Srivijaya he sailed to China via the escort of thirty-five Persian merchant-vessels,[6] and by AD 720 was ensconced in the Jianfu Temple at the Chinese capital, Chang'an (present-day Xi'an).

[2] Like Subhakarasimha, who preceded him by four years, Vajrabodhi spent most of his time in ritual activity, in translating texts from Sanskrit to Chinese, and in the production of Esoteric art.

Like Subhakarasimha, Vajrabodhi had ties to high court circles and enjoyed the patronage of imperial princesses; he also taught Korean monk Hyecho; who went on to travel India and Umayyad Persia.

His own rendition details provides an outline for the key elements of yoga including the mudras, mantras and the qualifications that each disciple requires for entry into the mandala techniques.
