The first complete English translation of Asanga's Mahayanasamgraha, the most important and comprehensive Indian Yogacara text, and all its available Indian commentaries.
The Mahāyānasaṃgraha, published here with its Indian and Tibetan commentaries in three volumes, presents virtually everything anybody might want to know about the Yogācāra School of mahāyāna Buddhism. It discusses in detail the nature and operation of the eight kinds of consciousness, the often-misunderstood notion of “mind only” ( cittamātra), dependent origination, the cultivation of the path and its fruition in terms of the four wisdoms, and the three bodies ( kāyas) of a buddha.

“Whoever wants to find the wisdom beyond intellect without praying to his guru is like someone waiting for the sun to shine in a cave facing the north. He will never realize appearances and his mind to be one.”

That has been available in English for a while now. See the BDK edition for instance: The Summary of the Great Vehicle.
That would be the Yogacarabhumisastra, translated to English only partially.the most important and comprehensive Indian Yogacara text
1 Myriad dharmas are only mind.
Mind is unobtainable.
What is there to seek?
2 If the Buddha-Nature is seen,
there will be no seeing of a nature in any thing.
3 Neither cultivation nor seated meditation —
this is the pure Chan of Tathagata.
4 With sudden enlightenment to Tathagata Chan,
the six paramitas and myriad means
are complete within that essence.

I would agree; the Yogacarabhumisastra is easily the most important and comprehensive Yogacara text, according to reputation.

Nam mô Quan Thế Âm Bồ tát

Nam mô Bổn sư Thích ca mâu ni Phật
Nam mô Di lặc Bồ tát
Nam mô Địa tạng vương Bồ tát

Thanks, I actually found out that it had been available after posting. To be clear, I did not originally write anything in this post other than the title - it is a direct copy/paste from the Amazon description. I suspect what they meant is that it's the first full translation of the text and the commentaries, at least that's what makes the most sense.Astus wrote: ↑Wed Sep 19, 2018 2:53 pmThat has been available in English for a while now.
