	Vasubandhu [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		This concept also did away with the necessity of a permanent atman as the doer and recipient of karma since, like a stream, it is continuously changing with new conditions from moment to moment.
		According to the theory of three natures, there are three cognitive realms at play: the delusional cognitively constructed realm, which is intrinsically unreal; the realm of causal dependency; and the perfectional realm which is intrinsically ‘empty.' To Vasubandhu, Buddhism is a method of cleansing the stream of consciousness from ‘contaminations' and ‘defilements.’
		Similarly, continuity from one life to the next could not be explained satisfactorily by this theory.

	Mahayana as Meta-Buddhism
		Gotama took it for granted that an individual sentient being continued to live an existence (bhava) of vijnana (consciouness) or mano-kaya (the body of mind), within the realm of the tri-dhatu even after that sentient being’s physical body died and decomposed, until it reaches Nirvana.
		The concept of the after-life is not the Buddha’s teaching, but it is the accepted situation in which every sentient being lives, repeating birth and death; the Buddha just took it for granted as a matter of fact for all sentient beings.
		One thing that modern people should not forget is that Gotama took it for granted that in the samsaric state, there were not only physical living beings but also devas (various living beings unseen by the ordinary eye).

		In early Buddhism, consciousness (vijnana) is analyzed into six categories: five sense-perceptions (seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting and touch) and mental-perception (mano-vijnana).
		As a compound, vijnana-parinama means that vijnana (perception/consciousness) is characterized essentially by the act of constituting/objectifying something.
		Derived from the root nam, meaning "to bend or bow, to subject or submit one's self, to turn towards, i.e., to aim at, to yield or give way," the term parinama means the transformation of one's self into something.

	Ken Wilber Online: Pragmatic history of consciousness
		Today we will use the 5 koshas or sheaths as a simple example of these levels of consciousness; they are said to be: anna, prana, mano, vijnana, and ananda--which we can translate roughly as the material level, the emotional-sexual level, the mental level, the higher mental, and the bliss-formless.
		These levels of consciousness are really just a variation on the Great Nest of Being, which, in its general outline--matter to body to mind to soul to spirit--is found in most of the sophisticated wisdom traditions.
		Of course, these 'levels' are not rigid rungs in a ladder but overlapping waves or spheres of consciousness.

		The alayavijnana in the context of canonical and Abhidharma vijnana theory, journal of Indian Philosophy, 23, pp.
		This is a crucial point to acknowledge since, for the Yogacara school, the sensory apprehension of objects cannot be divorced from one's consciousness of it (though it is possible to make a purely abstract and theoretical distinction between vedana on the one hand and vijnana, samjna and samskara on the other when discussing the skandhas).
