Where do you get that definition from? here . I think the explanation is wrong when it claims that the dependent nature does the projecting, which is an astonishing idea! Here is what the Bhagavan says in the Lankavatara sutra , in the translation of D.T. Suzuki. Here parikalpita is called false di...

Where do you get that definition from? It sounds like parinispanna & parikalpita combined, it is not what mere parikalpita is.

Mark Siderits writes that it is easy to see that the universal corresponds to the parikalpita of yogacara, and the particular corresponds to the paratantra.
I.e. they corresponds to imaginary nature and the dependent nature.

Gandavyuha sutra is tells the story of the spiritual journey of the Youth Sudhana, who on his journey meets 54 enlightened teachers. The journey takes place in Jambudvipa, but it has many fantastic features, that we don't normally see nowadays in our world. The events on Sudhana's journey have been...

Don't take it too seriously. There is a lot of work behind it, I am sure. The sheer number of the gurus is stunning. Hundreds of them, whom I have never heard of, or maybe even close to one thousand. There is a message in their number, and in the attitude and treatment of them. You could never do th...

The male vs female distinction becomes gradually more refined and more subtle in the kamaloka heavens, there are four or six grades of this refinement. The teaching about the qualities of the kamaloka devas is found in the Abhidharmakosa of Vasubandhu, and in the Shurangama Sutra , it is also quite ...

The problem is solved by there being worldly dhyanas and transcendental dhyanas. The pure-realms (sudhavasa) exist also in the Sravakayana literature, they are inhabited by non-retuners and arahats . In the Sravakayana-abhidharma the pure-realms exist side by side with the realms of worldly dhyanas....

A common way to understand Sambhogakaya is to see it as a form-body that manifests in the dhyana realms, which are equal to the deva realms or the realms of form. There are also deva realms that are in the desire realm, but which are higher than the human realm. For example the realm of Buddha Maitr...

Planet Earth is vijñapti according to the yogacara/cittamatra, see for example the works of Vasubandhu.
The three realms are merely mind, says Lankavatara sutra.

Coming back to the original question, Vasubandhu defines and describes collective karma in an old thread, see : https://www.dharmawheel.net/viewtopic.php?f=77&t=10766

Hello, [...] So why did he go into the forest (to hide?) after the death of the Shakya clan and saying he felt empty after the deaths of Sariputra and Maugdalayana? The Buddha didn't say that he "felt empty". He said ( Ukkacela Sutta , emphasis mine): "Bhikkhus, this assembly appears to me empty no...

Tathagatagarbha is mentioned in the Lankavatara sutra, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddha-na ... tara-Sutra

If you read these articles, you will find that the case seems to be that there is a thriving business behind the "release of life". I.e. that the animals are caught for the purpose of selling them to the ignorant, naive and/or hypocrite buddhists searching for "merit". If the animals are caught in t...

It is not irrelevant. If a person is catching fish with the intention of selling them for naive and faithfull for "procuring merit". Karma is intention and what is intended.
You must ask Poseidon, or an other God of the Sea, and ask what he thinks, whether the fish are benefited or not?

If you can do something to this unimaginable mass of debris in the ocean, it is certainly "saving lives" in a direct manner

There is an article about the Diet of Buddha in Guide to Buddhism A 2 Z, which is informative and most interesting. For some obscure reason I can't form a link to it.
