"Discourse on the Stages of Concentration Practice" is the definitive text of the Yogcra school of Buddhism. It is made up of one hundred fascicles, composed in India between 300 and 350 CE, and was translated into Chinese by Xuanzang between 646- 648 at Hongfu and Dacien Monasteries. In East Asia, authorship is attributed to Maitreya, but Tibetan tradition considers it to have been composed by Asaga . Sanskrit and Tibetan versions of this text are extant.
