Ocean of Eloquence: Extensive Commentary on the Difficult Points of Mind and the Foundation Consciousness
ཡིད་དང་ཀུན་གཞིའི་དཀའ་བའི་གནས་རྒྱ་ཆེར་འགྲེལ་པ་ལེགས་པར་བཤད་པའི་རྒྱ་མཚོ། (yid dang kun gzhi'i dka' ba'i gnas rgya cher 'grel pa legs par bshad pa'i rgya mtsho)
An early work on the psychology of the Yogācāra school: the afflicted mental consciousness (kliṣṭamanas) and the foundation or storehouse consciousness (ālayavijñāna). It faithfully sets out a system that Tsongkhapa would later reject from the Prāsaṅgika Madhyamaka standpoint, and is therefore a record of his development. Vol. 18 (tsha).
