This research will focus on the basic theory of Mahayana camatha and vipacyana in consciousness only and it's practicing during the middle stage of Mahayana Buddhism in India. I will have a dig at arranging the scope of Yogacarabhumi volume one Bodhisattva stage of which is the foundational surras of Yogacara School. And try to bring up the model of Bodhisattva camatha and vipacyana in consciousness only to support the Yogacara School modify their structure of thinking. The practicing of camatha and vipacyana in Tian Tai School is very famous in Buddhist practicing, it is seldom to mention about the other practicing theory of Mahayana Buddhism by the other researches. That is the reason attract me to trace back to the nature and simple concept of practicing in teaching of camatha and vipacyana in consciousness only School.There are many researches pay attention on one sidedly-emphasize of consciousness only vijbapti-matrata and camatha vipacyana in hearer's vehicle and seldom mention about Bodhisattva's vehicle. Bodhisattva thinking in the traditional way, the main part of Bodhisattva thinking is six perfections (sad-paramita) and four qualities making for amicable association (catvari samgraha-vastuni). In fact, we cannot ignore the power of camatha and vipacyana, because that is the motivation of Bodhisattva's altruistic mind and action. From this angle, I attempt to find out the relationship between camatha and vipacyana in consciousness only and Bodhisattva's practicing. Specially, Bodhisattva's practicing is the speciality in the Mahayana.Buddhism, and the camatha and vipacyana in consciousness only is the majorpracticing idea in Yogacara School. Yogacarabhumi volume seventy-seven andSamdhinirmocana-sutra volume six describes the fundamental model of camathaand vipacyana in Yogacara School. Thus, the contents of this essay conclude above scriptures. Besides, there is another emphasis from Yogacarabhumi volume one which mentions about the identity gets rid of all language. And that is a state and practicing of saint.The preface as follow:Preface: review achievements of related territory in academic community, I will bring up the insufficient part, since it is the structure of this research and the motivation of mine to accomplish this essay also.

I will use the same method in chapter three also, in order to summarize all camatha and vipacyana of Mahayana excluding Yogacara School.Chapter four.Collation and contrast with different versions to describe the thinking of Yogacarabhumi Chapter five:Here will focus on the Practicing construction of Bodhisattva stage.

In general, those tree chapters above are discussing the content of Yogacarabhumi and spread out the questionable part.To bring up hypothesis in order to distinguish and determine what those ideas belong to.
