Our FBA Dharmabyte today is called Chittamatra (and#8216;Mind-Onlyand#8217;) from the talk The Depth Psychology of the Yogachara by Sangharakshita.

The Yogachara School of Indian Mahayana Buddhism and its doctrine of and#8216;Mind-Onlyand#8217; (Chittamatra) crucially influenced the development of Zen. Here the doctrine is related to subjective and absolute idealism in Western philosophy.

Talk given in 1967.

This talk is part of the series Aspects of Buddhist Psychology.
