Description:

"The Differentiation of the Middle and the Extremes" (Sanskrit: Madhyāntavibhāga, Tibetan: dbu mtha' rnam 'byed) is a foundational Yogācāra text attributed to the bodhisattva Maitreya and compiled by the 4th-century scholar Asanga. It outlines the Mahāyāna "Middle Way" as a non-dual reality free from the extremes of eternalism and nihilism.
