The Vijnanavada (Yogacara) school of Buddhism represents the latest and final form of that religion, the form in which, after having transformed IndiaÕs national philosophy and leaving its native Indian soil, it spread over almost the whole of the Asiatic continent up to Japan in the east and Asia Minori n the West where it amalgamated with gnosticism. The Madhanta-Vibhanga belongs to the most fundamental works of this school. The present book contains English translation of the first part of the text, i.e., the double essence of ultimate reality. Also contains the karika's of Maitreya-Asanga, besides a translation of Vasubandhu's bhasya in fulll as well as of the tika of Sthiramati.
