	Dharma Fellowship: Library - Yogacara Theory - Part One: Background History
		The Abhidharmakosa is very different in style and composition from the Yogacara works of Vasubandhu, let alone the Abhidharmakosabhasya, which is a refutation of the former.
		One is the famous Abhidharmakosa, or "Treasury of Metaphysics", composed in Peshawar, the other, is the Abhidharmakosabhasya composed some centuries later in Ayodhya.
		The author of the Abhidharmakosa, on the other hand, resided in Peshawar, belonged to the Kashmiri Vaibhasika school of Sarvastivada metaphysics.

	Vijnaptimatrata and the Abhidharma context of early Yogacara
		Finally, some remarks are made about the benefits of approaching the history of religious ideas without the benefits and distortions of hindsight, particularly as this relates to the attribution of an idealistic position to the early Yogacara literature.
		The thesis of the similarity between the two schools can be illustrated if we examine the views of the two Vasubandhus, the author of the Abhidharmakosa and its commentary (Abhidharmakosa-bhasya), and the author of various early Yogacara works such as the Twenty Verses (Vimsatika) and the Thirty Verses (Trimsika).
		These two thinkers may or may not be one and the same person as tradition suggests [4], but given the similarity between the Sautrantika and Yogacara epistemologies, movement from the former position to the latter is not totally incomprehensible.

	E-sangha, Buddhist Forum and Buddhism Forum > Chapter 1 of Abhidharmakosa in Tibetan and English
		Here is a PDF i prepared for a class several years ago of the first chapter of the Abhidharmakosa in Tibetan and English, with several key terms also given in Sanskrit.
		That is why this is the abhidharmakosa, and not the abhidharmakosabhasya, which is the long commentary.
		Anything that is a summery written in verse is a karika.

		Asanga, author of the Abhidharmasamuccaya, is founder of the Yogacara school of Mahayana Buddhism.
		Yet the Kosa is written in verse, usual for Mahayana treatises, while the Samuccaya follows the traditional prose question and answer style of the older Pali Abhidharma texts.

		In addition to refuting the interpretations of Vasubandhu as presented in the Abhidharmakosa, Sanghabhadra also challenged the views of the Darstantika and Sautrantika.
		The body of the work is a translation of relevant sections of the second chapter of Sanghabhadra's Nyayanusara (Chinese).
		Other texts consulted include Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakosa (Sanskrit), the Mahavibhasa (Chinese), earlier Sarvastivada Abhidharma texts (Chinese), and a range of Sanskrit, Chinese, and Japanese (kanbun) commentaries.

	CSP - 'Exploring Mysticism: A Methodological Essay' by Frits Staal
		In Taoism, especially in its later developments, mystics did not feel hampered by religious, moral, or social disapproval, and freely engaged in experiments with drugs and chemical substances, especially cinnabar.
		If we want to follow Pantanjali's lead in the Yogasutra, and Vasubandhu's in the Abhidharmakosa, it would seem safe to conclude that drugs may assist in the bringing about of certain results, which can also be reached by other methods of training, such as meditation.
		That these results are the only "mystical experiences" that exist does not at all follow, or even seem likely.

		The “inhabitants” of this sphere are no longer personalities at all and cannot be visualized, rather, they bear the names of general terms.
		Abhidharmakosa, since in accordance with the Buddhist theory of perception the “map” and the territory it describes are identical.
		Both, the geography and its likeness in consciousness, ultimately prove themselves to be projections of one and the same spirit.

		They share the same Abhidharma with other major schools of Buddhism, which is Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakosa.
		The Theravada model is quite different from Vasubandhu's one (of course I would not say they are hugely different).
		It is indeed an extract from "The Tree of Enlightenment: an Introduction to the Major Traditions of Buddhism", which you guys mentioned.

		INTRODUCTION : As a literature, the Abhidharma forms one of the three parts of the Buddhist Canon in its classic form as the Tripitaka.
		The aim of this thesis is to interpret some fundamental categories of the Kosa, and to present the text to a somewhat wider audience.
		There follows a brief introduction to the Sanskrit text (which is given as Chapter Three), and some remarks on the present translation (Chapter Two).

	Vijnaptimatrata and the Abhidharma context of early Yogacara
		Finally, some remarks are made about the benefits of approaching the history of religious ideas without the benefits and distortions of hindsight, particularly as this relates to the attribution of an idealistic position to the early Yogacara literature.
		Where the schools differ is in the Yogacara refusal to accept the validity of discussing external objects as causes (nimitta) given that an external object is never (directly) perceived.
		These two thinkers may or may not be one and the same person as tradition suggests [4], but given the similarity between the Sautrantika and Yogacara epistemologies, movement from the former position to the latter is not totally incomprehensible.

	Notes to Tsongkhapa's Lines of Experience
		The nature of samsara is that it is fraught with endless sufferings, such as from sickness, old age, impermanence and death.
		According to Buddhist cosmology, as outlined in the "Abhidharmakosa," the universe consists of four continents arranged in the four directions around Mount Meru in the center.
		The Southern Continent is where human life, as we commonly know it, flourishes.

		It is surprising to note that no archaeological evidence related with Lord Rama could be unearthed which might throw any light on him prior to the 5

		Put aside this meditation of the eight worldly dharmas.
		These lines are in accord with the Abhidharmakosa, where it is written, ’He who possess morality, hearing and contemplation is especially assiduous in meditation’ Thus far, the author has dealt with the distinction to be made between absolute and relative aims (i.e.
		The desire actually to win enlightenment and worldly ambition to gain advantages of one kind or another).
