Princeton Dictionary of Buddhism	See page 195: In Sanskrit, lit. “mind-only”; a term used in the ''Laṅkāvatārasūtra'' to describe the notion that the external world of the senses does not exist independently of the mind and that all phenomena are mere projections of consciousness. Because this doctrine is espoused by the Yogācāra, that school is sometimes referred to as cittamātra. The doctrine is closely associated with the eight consciousness (vijñāna) theory set forth in the ''Viniścayasaṃgrahaṇī'' of the ''Yogācārabhūmiśāstra'' and in the ''Mahāyānasaṃgraha'' and ''Abhidharmasamuccaya'' that are supplemental to that work.	Enter content from this dictionary. You can find it online here as well as on the PDF in our archive. Follow the format: See page ###: FIRST FEW MEANINGFUL SENTENCES...
*Basic Meaning	Though it is sometimes used synonymously with Yogācāra, it is in fact one of the more prominent philosophical theories associated with this school. It asserts that the objects in the external world with which we interact are actually mentally created representations appearing as those objects. The character of these perceptions is predetermined by our own karmic conditioning that is stored in the ālayavijñāna.	`No Markup` Enter the basic meaning for the term here in a short form. This is the official definition used throughout Tsadra wikis in tooltips. Please be careful how you fill this out. Markup is not allowed as it is not rendered in the tooltips anyways. REMINDER: Terms in source languages should be italicized instead of in quotation marks and English translations or phrases should be in quotation marks.
*Has the Sense of	It is a philosophical position that places mentation at the forefront of our experience of the world, rather than the seemingly real objects that consciousness perceives. It can also be used to refer to a Buddhist school, a genre of texts, or as a section of the Tibetan Buddhist canon. For instance, the ''Gyü Lama'' is in the ''sems tsam'' section of the Tibetan canon.	`Markup OK` Include citations for content in parentheses and add both page creator and last edit info to the end of the paragraph(s).

Did you know?	In Sanskrit sources it is more common to see this theory articulated as vijñaptimātra or consciousness only. Western scholars have associate this philosophy with a form of Idealism. In Tibet, the followers of zhentong made great efforts to distance themselves from this concept, while still utilizing many of the Yogācāra terms associated with it.	`Markup OK` Enter an interesting tidbit of information FOR A GENERAL AUDIENCE.
