Asanga
Asaṅga (, ; Romaji: ''Mujaku'') was a major exponent of the Yogacara tradition in India, also called ''Vijñānavāda''. Traditionally, he and his half-brother Vasubandhu are regarded as the founders of this school. The two half-brothers were also major exponents of Abhidharma teachings.
==Early life==
Asaṅga was born as the son of a Kṣatriya father and Brahmin mother〔Tsoṅ-kha-pa Blo-bzaṅ-grags-pa, Robert A. F. Thurman (Page 28)〕 in Puruṣapura (present day Peshawar in Pakistan), which at that time was part of the ancient kingdom of Gandhāra. Current scholarship places him in the fourth century CE. He was perhaps originally a member of the Mahīśāsaka school or the Mūlasarvāstivāda school but later converted to Mahāyāna.〔'Doctrinal Affiliation of the Buddhist Master Asanga' - Alex Wayman in ''Untying the Knots in Buddhism'', ISBN 81-208-1321-9〕 According to some scholars, Asaṅga's frameworks for abhidharma writings retained many underlying Mahīśāsaka traits.〔Anacker, Stefan (1984). ''Seven Works Of Vasubandhu: The Buddhist Psychological Doctor.'' p. 58〕 André Bareau writes:〔Rama Karana Sarma (1993). ''Researches in Indian and Buddhist Philosophy: Essays in Honour of Alex Wayman.'' p. 5〕
In the record of his journeys through the kingdoms of India, Xuanzang wrote that Asaṅga was initially a Mahīśāsaka monk, but soon turned toward the Mahāyāna teachings.〔Rongxi, Li (1996). ''The Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions.'', Numata Center, Berkeley, p. 153.〕 Asaṅga had a half-brother, Vasubandhu, who was a monk from the Sarvāstivāda school. Vasubandhu is said to have taken up Mahāyāna Buddhism after meeting with Asaṅga and one of Asaṅga's disciples.〔Rongxi, Li (1996). ''The Great Tang Dynasty Record of the Western Regions.'', Numata Center, Berkeley, pp. 154-155.〕
