Yogācāra - Along with Madhyamaka, it was one of the two major philosophical schools of Mahāyāna Buddhism. Founded by Asaṅga and Vasubandhu around the fourth century CE, many of its central tenets have roots in the ''Saṃdhinirmocanasūtra'' and the so-called third turning of the dharma wheel (see tridharmacakrapravartana).
