Chén Huì 陳慧 (lifedates unknown; fl. mid-third-century Wú 吳, c. 240s–270s CE), Buddhist layman of the Three-Kingdoms Wú capital Jiànkāng 建康, lay disciple of the Sogdian-Vietnamese master Kāng Sēnghuì 康僧會 (d. 280; arrived at Jiànkāng under Sūn Quán 孫權 in 247 CE). Chén Huì is the named compiler-author of [[KR6a0162|Yīnchírù jīng zhù 陰持入經註 (T1694)]], the two-fascicle commentary on Ān Shìgāo’s Yīnchírù jīng (T0603) which throughout records his master Kāng Sēnghuì’s oral exegesis with the formula 「師云」 (“the master says”). The work is the principal documentary witness for the Wú-period Jiànkāng exegetical tradition that descends from Kāng Sēnghuì.
No independent biographical material survives. Chén Huì’s preface (signed “陳氏注”, “annotated by Mr. Chén”) is one of the earliest extant Chinese-Buddhist autobiographical-exegetical statements and is the earliest surviving Chinese-language source for the Bodhisattva-hagiography of Ān Shìgāo (“a Bodhisattva universally seen”). His teacher Kāng Sēnghuì is independently attested in the Chū sānzàng jì jí 出三藏記集 and the Gāosēng zhuàn 高僧傳 (T2059, 325a–326c). Per DILA Buddhist Person Authority A001209.
