Dharma-dharmata-vibhaga

Summary

Dharma-dharmatā-vibhāga (Chinese: 辨法法性論; pinyin: Biàn fǎ fǎ xìng lùn; Distinguishing Dharmas and Dharmata) is a short Yogācāra work, attributed to Maitreya-nātha, which discusses the distinction and correlation (vibhāga) between phenomena (dharma) and reality (dharmatā); the work exists in both a prose and a verse version and survives only in Tibetan translation. However, the Sanskrit original was reported to exist in Tibet during the 1930s by the Indian Buddhologist and explorer, Rahul Sankrityayan.
