AbstractThis article presents information on the structure of mind in the Yogacara Buddhist idealist school. It is reported that according to the Yogacara school, there are three svabhavas, natures or forms of being: the imagined (parikalpita), the dependent on other (paratantra), and the perfect or absolute (parinishpanna). Asanga, in his commentary of Mahayanasutralamkara ad XI, 41, says that tathata is the definition (lakshana) of parinishpanna, and tathata, which literally means suchness, is commonly used to designate the Absolute. It is pointed that the perceptible world is, according to the Yogacara school, only a creation of mind, dominated by error; it is merely representations to which no external and real object corresponds; this mental world is simply the reactivation of the vasanas, which constitute the receptacle-consciousness, producing in turn new subliminal impressions.
