Exposition of the Doctrine Composed by the Bodhisattva Asaṅga, a master of the Indian Mahāyāna Yogācāra school. Translated into Chinese by the Tang Dynasty Dharma Master Xuanzang. This treatise, based on the essential principles of the Bodhisattva Maitreya's *Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra*, systematically expounds the doctrines of the Yogācāra school. Its content encompasses the three major sections of object, practice, and fruition, detailing the principle that all phenomena are consciousness-only and the stages of cultivation and realization. Regarded as one of the important treatises of the Yogācāra school, it has profoundly influenced the development of Consciousness-Only studies in Chinese Buddhism and stands as an authoritative text for investigating the core philosophy of the Faxiang school.
