    "abstract": "Alongside Madhyamaka, Yogācāra is one of the two majorphilosophical traditions of Mahāyāna Buddhism thatoriginated in India. The philosophical and soteriological ideas setforth in the Yogācāra works had a great impact on thedevelopment of Buddhist thought not only in the Indian subcontinentbut also in other parts of Asia, especially in China, Japan and Tibet.Besides its highly influential exposition of the stages of theMahāyāna path to liberation, the tradition developed severalemblematic philosophical doctrines, such as the mind-only(cittamātra) teaching, the theory of three natures(trisvabhāva), and the eightfold classification ofconsciousness, including the introduction of the so-called defiledmind (kliṣṭamanas) and the substratum or storeconsciousness (ālayavijñāna). Through thesystematic elucidation and justification of these doctrines, theYogācāra school made a significant contribution to themetaphysical, epistemological, and phenomenological study ofconsciousness.",
