=====''Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra''===== The ''[[Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra]]'', one of the earliest [[Mahayana sutras|Mahāyāna Sūtras]], took an idealistic turn in apprehending reality. Japanese Buddhist scholar [[D. T. Suzuki]] writes the following explanation: {{quote|The ''Laṅkā'' is quite explicit in assuming two forms of knowledge: the one for grasping the absolute or entering into the realm of [[Mind-only]], and the other for understanding existence in its dual aspect in which logic prevails and the ''[[vijñāna]]s'' are active. The latter is designated [[Vikalpa|discrimination]] (''vikalpa'') in the ''Laṅkā'' and the former [[Prajñā (Buddhism)|transcendental wisdom or knowledge]] (''prajñā''). To distinguish these two forms of knowledge is most essential in Buddhist philosophy.}}
