Lankavatara Sūtra

One of the most important and influential Buddhist texts. It was written around 300 AD and is found in the canon of the Yogacara School, which emerged in the 5th century. This school emphasized the need for calm meditation prior to the development of wisdom and understanding. The Yogacara School profoundly influenced the development of later Mahāyāna traditions in Tibet and China where the Lankavatara Sūtra was most popular.
