世亲


Vasubandhu; also translated as T'ien-ch'in 天亲. Transliterated as p'o-p'an-tou 婆槃豆. Along with his brother Asan%ga 无著, one of the main founders of the Indian Yoga^ca^ra school 瑜伽行派, and one of the most influential figures in the entire history of Buddhism. Born in Gandha^ra in the fourth century, he was at first an Abhidharmist and wrote the massive Abhidharmako/sa-bha^sya 俱舍论. He later converted to Maha^ya^na and composed many other voluminous treatises. Most influential in the East Asian tradition was probably his Thirty Verses on Consciousness-only (Weishi sanshisong 唯识三十颂), but he also wrote a large number of other works, including: a commentary to the Maha^ya^na-sam!graha 摄大乘论释, the Dasabhu^mikabha^sya 十地经论, Catuh/sataka-/sa^stra 广百论, Maha^ya^na /satadharma^-praka^/samukha /sa^stra 大乘百法明门论, Amita^yus sutropade/sa 无量寿经优波提舍, and his Discourse on the Pure Land (Jingtulun 净土论).
