 | | Asanga and Vasubandhu taught "Buddhist Mysticism", and this is the specific meaning of "Yogacara." It is the Yoga, or the practical mystical Way, as taught in the Buddhist tradition. | | | Yogacara means the practice (cara) of "mystical Union" (yoga). | | | Insofar as the intention of the Yogacara movement was not a philosophical speculation, but rather, intended as a return to a pure Buddhist mysticism, the new school was clearly founded on meditation. |

| | The Yogacara model of mind is unique to itself and different from the teachings of any other school of Buddhism. | | | Now, when we come to examine the classic Yogacara treatise known as the Bodhicittabhavana, written by the seventh century master Manjusrimitra, we are told that mind and mental-activity arises in the Universe in three ways. | | | Taking the Yogacara and Tantric doctrine a step further, we can say as follows: the entire Universe came into being out of a deep mystery that can only be called emptiness (sunyata), about which all speculation must remain absent. |

| | Vijnaptimatrata and the Abhidharma context of early Yogacara |
| | This 'pure mind' tradition within Yogacara Buddhism has clear antecedents in early Buddhism [10] and is perhaps best represented in the early Yogacara literature by such texts as the Mahayanasutralamkara. | | | The Yogacara notion of vijnaptimatrata is an attempt to reformulate this basic Buddhist insight through a comprehensive phenomenological analysis of the activities of the mind. | | | Contemporary accounts of Mahayana Buddhist schools like the Madhyamaka and the Yogacara tend to portray them as generally antithetical to the Abhidharma of non-Mahayana schools such as the Theravada and the Sarvastivada. |

| | Once more, we should point out the fact that the Empiricists' conclusion ends up on the level of metaphysics there where the Buddhist Yogacara's conclusion is situated on the level of epistemology and soteriology. | | | This however is not a step back; only a shifting towards an empirically more understandable realm: from the 4th lemma back towards the 3rd lemma, in the form of "being and non-being". | | | Following Nagarjuna the Yogacara also knows a threefold structure of truth, viz. |

| | That Yogācāra is not yet that well known among the community of Western practitioners is probably attributable tothe fact that most of the initial transmission of Buddhism to the West has been directly concerned with more practice-orientedforms of Buddhism, such as Zen, Vipassana,and Pure Land. | | | The answer given by the Yogacaras was the storeconsciousness (also known as the base, or eighthconsciousness ; Skt., ālayavijñāna) which simultaneously acts as a storage place for karma and as a fertilematrix that brings karma to a state of fruition. | | | The Yogacaras defined three basic modes by which we perceive our world: one, through attached and erroneous discrimination,wherein things are incorrectly apprehended based on preconceptions; two, through the correct understanding of the dependently originated nature of things; and three, byapprehending things as they are in themselves, uninfluenced by any conceptualization at all. |
