Chittamatra - Mind Only. One of the four major schools of Buddhist philosophy, characterized by emphasis on mental events. The lower of the two schools of Mahayana tenets. `Chittamatra’ means `mind only’. They are so-called because they assert that all phenomena are merely the nature of mind. A Chittamatrin is a proponent of Chittamatra tenets.
sems tsam - Mind Only school, Chittamatra; the doctrine of Mind-Only; founded by Maitreya and Asanga, idealist-mentalist, just displays of mind.

sems tsam pa - Mind-Only School, Chittamatra. A Mahayana school of Buddhist philosophy propagated by the great master Asanga and his followers. Founded on the Lankavatara Sutra and other scriptures, its main premise is that all phenomena are only mind, i.e. mental perceptions that appear within the All-ground consciousness due to habitual tendencies.
