Page "East Asian Yogācāra" Paragraph 5

During the 6th century CE, the Indian monk and translator Paramārtha widely propagated Yogācāra teachings in China.

His translations include the Saṃdhinirmocana Sūtra, the Madhyāntavibhāga-kārikā, the Triṃśikā-vijñaptimātratā, and the Mahāyānasaṃgraha.

Paramārtha also taught widely on the principles of Consciousness Only, and developed a large following in southern China.

Many monks and laypeople traveled long distances to hear his teachings, especially those on the Mahāyānasaṃgraha.
