俗姓賈。生於三三四年,卒於四一七年。東晉(317~420)僧、畫家、詩人。雁門樓煩(今山西寧武)人。二十一歲與弟往太行恆山聽道安大師講《般若波羅蜜多心經》,心契意領,悟後從師出家。
 太元六年(381)於江西廬山建東林精舍,集弟慧持、慧永、道生、慧叡等僧講經說法。六十八歲與劉遺民等人創立白蓮社,倡彌陀淨土法門,專事念佛,三十餘載不曾出山。內通佛理,外善群書,著有《法性論》、《沙門不敬王者論》、《詩經注》、《廬山集》等。後世尊為淨土宗初祖,稱「廬山慧遠」,別於隋代(581~618)淨影寺之慧遠。弟子甚眾,有慧觀、僧濟、法安、曇邕、道祖等人。  
 工詩善畫,畫跡有江淮名山圖,著錄於明代(1368~1644)楊慎《丹鉛錄》。江西九江東林寺祖堂今猶供奉開山祖師慧遠大師法像。
