Twenty-Stanza Treatise on the Consciousness-Only Doctrine, The [唯識二十論] ( Vimshatikā-vijnaptimātratā-siddhi; Chin Wei-shih-erh-shih-lun; Yuishiki-nijū-ron): A short work by Vasubandhu, translated into Chinese in 661 by Hsüan-tsang. It criticizes the erroneous views of non-Buddhist and Hinayana teachings and asserts the validity of the Consciousness-Only doctrine. Two other Chinese translations under different titles were produced in the sixth century by Paramārtha and by Prajnāruchi. The Twenty-Stanza Treatise on the Consciousness-Only Doctrine is one of the principal texts of the Dharma Characteristics (Chin Fa-hsiang; Hossō) school.
