Though the True-Eternalism and Mind-Only tradition belongs to the Buddhism of later period, yet it really had the foundatism and basis of Aagama Buddhism as well as the influence of sourthern Mahaas^nghika Vibhajya-vaadin and Sautraantika d.r.s.taantika. Master Yinshun also stresses that The 'Saastra on the Awakening of Faith in Mahaayaaya was influenced by Visuddhimagga of Sri Lankan Buddhism. It has also the backup of many Maahaayana sutras and 'Saastras such as La^nkaavataarasuuutra, 'Srimaalaa-si.mha-naada-suutra, Tathaagata-garbha-suutra, and even Mahaayaana Sa.mgraha of old Mind-Only tradition. Taking the opportunity of discoursing the 'Saastra on the Awakening of Faith in Mahaayaana, Master Yinshun listed clearly has the True-Eternalism and Mind-Only School evolved to become and independent tradition. He points out the history of development. He does not use dubious language and traditional viewpoints. He does not worry that the finding of the difference of the teachings among various schools will make people doubt and lose faith. This is also the attitude of academic research and its reliable fruit empressed by history methodology.
