The Zhongbian fenbie lun; abbreviated as Zhongbian lun 中边论 and also known as the Bian zhongbian lun 辩中边论: the Madhya^nta-vibha^ga （Analysis of the Middle and the Extremes）. A seminal Yoga^ca^ra text that is traditionally said to be a writing of Maitreya 弥勒 with Vasubandhu's commentary， but is considered by scholars to more likely be the joint effort of Asan%ga 无著 and Vasubandhu 世亲. The special focus of this text is on the Yoga^ca^ra articulation of the meaning of mistaken discrimination 虚妄分别 vs. the meaning of emptiness of inherent nature 空性， with the aim of breaking attachment to extreme notions of emptiness 有 and existence 无.
