Yogacara is a category for books on the Mahayana Buddhist tradition often called “Mind-Only” (Cittamatra/Vijnanavada), which explores how consciousness constructs experience and how meditative practice transforms the mind toward liberation. Works in this category typically cover core doctrines such as the storehouse consciousness (alaya-vijnana), the eight or nine consciousnesses, and the three natures (trisvabhava), alongside practical and ethical implications. It includes translations and commentaries on foundational texts and figures (e.g., Asanga, Vasubandhu; Yogacarabhumi, Mahayanasamgraha, Samdhinirmocana Sutra, Lankavatara Sutra), scholarly studies of Yogacara’s development and its influence in India, Tibet, and East Asia (e.g., Faxiang/Hossō), and comparative treatments with related Buddhist schools like Madhyamaka. Contemporary books applying Yogacara to Buddhist psychology, cognition, and meditation would also fit this category.
