- Tib. ḥkhor-lo-tha-ma = antya-cakra-(pravartana) and ḥkhor-lo-bar-ba = madhya-cakra-(pravartana). These are regarded in general as the foundation of the two branches of the Mahāyānistic literature, viz. 1) the idealistic, maintaining the unreality of the external world (bāhya-artha-śūnyatā) i.e. the Yogācāra system of Āryāsanga (IV- V century A. D.) and 2) the monistic teaching of universal non-substantiality (sarva-dharma-śūnyatā) i.e. the Mādhyamika system founded by Nāgārjuna (II century A. D.). The ideas expressed in these 2 branches of Mahāyāna are much older than Āryāsanga and Nāgārjuna who have only established regular philosophical systems.
