Description
The Vijñapti-mātra is one of the most famous of India's Mahāyāna Buddhist schools. While the Madhyamaka school is mainly associated with the theory of emptiness, the Vijñapti mātra tradition asserts that everything is consciousness (vijñāna) only. It can be traced back to the Buddha, but was systematized by Maitreya, Asanga and Vasubandhu.
