Vasubandhu
text:
Vasubandhu was an influential Buddhist monk and scholar from Gandhara or Central India. He was a philosopher who wrote commentary on the Abhidharma, from the perspectives of the Sarvastivada and Sautrāntika schools. After his conversion to Mahayana Buddhism, along with his half-brother, Asanga, he was also one of the main founders of the Yogacara school. Vasubandhu's Abhidharmakośakārikā is widely used in Tibetan and East Asian Buddhism, as the major source for non-Mahayana Abhidharma philosophy
