Treatise on the Establishment of the Consciousness-Only Doctrine, The ［成唯識論］ (Chin Ch’eng-wei-shih-lun;  Jō-yuishiki-ron): A commentary on Vasubandhu’s Thirty-Stanza Treatise on the Consciousness-Only Doctrine by Dharmapāla (530–561), a prominent scholar of the Consciousness-Only school. Hsüan-tsang translated it into Chinese in 659, including in his version not only Dharmapāla’s commentary on the above treatise, but also edited interpretations of the same treatise by the other nine of the so-called ten great scholars of Consciousness-Only. This commentary is the principal text of the Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang;  Hossō) school. It sheds light on the Consciousness-Only doctrine, which teaches that the basis of human existence is the ālaya-consciousness and that all phenomena arise through activation of the karmic seeds stored in this consciousness.
