Twenty-Stanza Treatise on the Consciousness-Only Doctrine
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

Twenty-Stanza Treatise on the Consciousness-Only Doctrine, The
唯識二十論 (Skt Vimshatika-vijnaptimatrata-siddhi; Chin Wei-shih-erh-shih-lun; Jpn Yuishiki-niju-ron )
A short work by Vasubandhu, translated into Chinese in 661 by Hsüan-tsang. It criticizes the erroneous views of non-Buddhist and Hinayana teachings and asserts the validity of the Consciousness-Only doctrine. Two other Chinese translations under different titles were
produced in the sixth century by Paramartha and by Prajnaruchi. The Twenty-Stanza Treatise on the Consciousness-Only Doctrine is one of the principal texts of the Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang; Jpn Hosso) school.
