The philosophical system of the Mind Only school takes as its main basis the Thirty Verses, composed by the great scholar Vasubhandu. According to authentic histories, previously in the noble land of India, there were ten very famous scholars belonging to the Mind Only school who developed their views on the ground of the Thirty Verses. It is also true that there is no better text than the Thirty Verses for its ease of understanding and comprehensiveness in presenting both the Mind Only school’s philosophical system and the layout of its foundation, path, and fruition.
