Yogācārabhūmi

Book •
The Yogācārabhūmi is a large compendium attributed to Asaṅga compiling Yogācāra teachings on consciousness, meditation stages, ethical practice, and doctrinal analysis.

It integrates Abhidharma categories with Mahāyāna insights, detailing the ālaya-vijñāna, the three natures, and training methods leading to non-conceptual wisdom.

As a practical and theoretical manual, it influenced later Indian, Tibetan, and East Asian Yogācāra exegesis and monastic education.

The text's breadth makes it central to understanding the Yogācāra project of transforming cognition and elucidating dependent arising.
