According to Chandrahar Sharma Adwaitia Vedanta is essentially re-statements of Vinjnanavada Buddhism - the school of 'Consciousness-only' founded by Arya Asanga and the Vasubandhu brothers - Yogacara. Excerpt from 'vijnApti matratA siddhi' by vasAabAndhu: "Pure consciousness is the only Reality. By its nature, it is Self-luminous." (XIII, 13). "Thus shaking off duality, he directly perceives the Absolute which is the unity underlying phenomena (dharmadAtu)." (VI, 7 Sharma, p. 112-113).
