Asanga

Asaṅga (Tibet: ཐོགས་མེད།; Wylie: thogs med, Hanzi Tradisional: 無著; Pinyin: Wúzhuó; Romaji: Mujaku) (hidup pada abad ke-4 Masehi) adalah "salah satu figur spiritual paling penting" dari Buddha Mahayana dan "pendiri mazhab Yogacara".^[1][2] Secara tradisional, ia dan saudara tirinya Vasubandhu dipandang sebagai pakar Sanskerta India klasik besar dari Mahayana Abhidharma, pikiran Vijñanavada (hanya kesadaran) dan ajaran-ajaran Mahayana tentang wadah bodhisatwa.
