The Yogâcāra 瑜伽行派 school of Indian Buddhism, which together with the Middle Way (Madhyamaka; 中觀派) school, represented one of the two main branches of Mahāyāna philosophy. Its great teachers in India were Asaṅga (fourth century CE) 無著 (無着) and his brother Vasubandhu 世親. When Asaṅgaʼs works were first translated into Chinese in the sixth century CE, the school was known as Shelun 攝論宗, but eventually it was absorbed into the school of the great Chinese translator-monk Xuanzang 玄奘 (596–664). Xuanzangʼs school was known as the Faxiang ['dharma-characteristic'] school, after this main feature of its teachings.
