THE ATLAS OF THE EMPTY THRONE

Asaṅga

Asaṅga
nature
Co-founder, with his half-brother Vasubandhu, of the Yogācāra school — the "mind-only" analysis that asks what can be said about experience without smuggling in a world behind it. Legend has him receiving the teaching from Maitreya after twelve years of failed retreat, broken open at last by pity for a wounded dog.

The other great Mahāyāna philosophical stream beside Madhyamaka, and the one closest to a psychology.

sephirahchokhmah
whyChokhmah is the flash before structure — the Yogācāra move of going behind the object to the knowing itself.
