Indeed, Mind-Only & Consciousness-Only are both terms used for Yogacara, being translations of the other main names given to the school, which are Vijñapti-mātra (Consciousmess-Only) & Cittamātra (Mind-Only.)Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11820006311674418847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595900014735598043.post-49415935318257155712016-03-10T23:21:14.182+07:002016-03-10T23:21:14.182+07:00Luca,

Yes, if Red Pine's wonderful work encourages people to take up the practice of Buddhism, it is a tremendous thing. If, by promoting his work, there is some merit for myself, I dedicate it to all the suffering beings in the multiverse & beyond!Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11820006311674418847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-595900014735598043.post-88986952037046113102016-02-26T18:13:12.787+07:002016-02-26T18:13:12.787+07:00Thank you for sharing your nice review.

Mind-only is the teaching of the One Vehicle (Ekayana) school that is found in the One Vehicle sutras of the Lankavatara, Lotus, Avatamsaka (Flower Garland), and Great Dharma Drum Sutras and especially the Sutra of Queen Srimala's Lion's Roar. The Srimala Sutra is the only sutra specifically named in the Lankavatara. The Lankavatara is a One Vehicle sutra that synthesizes the 3 teachings of Yogacara's teaching of consciousness-only, Madhyamaka's teaching of Emptiness (Sunyata), and the Buddha Nature teaching of Tathagata-garbha by the unified teaching of mind-only. In one period Zen was called the "mind-only school" because of this synthetic approach that all phenomena, all dharmas, all things, are nothing but discriminations or projections of mind.Alan Gregory Wonderwheelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00186755261777539572noreply@blogger.com
