The Faxiang zong， or "Dharma-character" school. An East Asian form of the Indian Yoga^ca^ra 瑜伽行派 tradition. This school was founded in China by Hsüan-tsang （玄奘）， who， on his return from China， brought with him a wagonload of the most important Consciousness-only texts. These， with government support and many assistants， he translated into Chinese. His disciple Kuiji 窥基 wrote a number of important commentaries on the Consciousness-only texts and further developed the influence of the school in China. The Faxiang teachings were transmitted to Korea （Popsang） and Japan （Hosso^）， where they made considerable impact. Although the Faxiang zong/Popsang chong/Hosso^ shu^ tradition would all but die out as an independent sect， its Consciousness-only teachings made a major impact on the native East Asian traditions that would later develop， most notably Tiantai， Huayan and Chan Buddhism. Peter Gregory writes: "Faxiang is especially associated with the thought of Xuanzang and Kuiji， as unlike earlier forms of Yoga^ca^ra traditions in China， it rejected the idea of the tatha^gatagarbha and so denied the universal accessibility of enlightenment， and for that reason was only regarded as an elementary form of Maha^ya^na by the Huayan 华严 tradition. The term Faxiang itself was first applied to this tradition by the Huayan thinker Fazang 宝藏， who used it to emphasize the inferiority of Faxiang teachings， which only dealt with the 'phenomenal appearances of the dharmas' in contrast to Huayan， which dealt with the underlying 'nature' on which such phenomenal appearances were based." （Gregory-1995: 213）.
