True Aspectarians

True Aspectarians (Skt. satyākāravādin; Tib. namdenpa; wyl. rnam bden pa) are followers of the Chittamatra School who believe in the reality of mental features or aspects (rnam pa). Mind is therefore divided into two: the apprehended, objective aspect (zungwé sem) and the apprehending, subjective aspect (dzinpé sem). They say that the subjective mind is real and the apprehended aspects of mind which appear as external are also real.

Subdivisions

There are three subschools among the True Aspectarians: Proponents of Perceptual Parity, Half-Eggists and Proponents of Perceptual Non-Duality.
