Huisheng or Hui Sheng (fl. 510s & 520s), also known as Hoei Sing, Hwei Sang, and by other romanizations, was a Chinese Buddhist monk who travelled to medieval India with Songyun and others.
Huisheng and his companions were dispatched from the Tuoba Northern Wei to seek Buddhist scriptures in AD 518. They only reached as far as Gandhara but, receiving 170 sutras, they returned in 521.
