The different concepts between Sthiramati and Dharmap\u0101la
\u2014 By Shi Ruyuan<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the Chinese Buddhist tradition, the theory of Hs\u00fcan-Tsang\u2019s (\u7384\u5958) Cheng-wei-shih-lun (\u6210\u552f\u8b58\u8ad6) has been considered to be legitimate in regard to Yog\u0101c\u0101ra philosophy. Cheng-wei-shih-lun is a commentary on V\u0101subandhu\u2019s Tri\u1e41\u015bik\u0101vij\u00f1apti-prakara\u1e47a and was translated into Chinese around the seventh century CE by Hs\u00fcan-Tsang. Even though he claimed that Cheng-wei-shih-lun was not a commentary of a single person, and instead, that it was a combination of ten people\u2019s commentaries, Hs\u00fcan-Tsang admitted that among those commentaries, Dharmap\u0101la\u2019s concept was adopted as authoritative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
