In my book Toward a New Image of Paramārtha: Yogācāra and Tathāgatagarbha Buddhism Revisited 

(Bloomsbury 2023), I suggested that the Indian missionary monk Paramārtha (499-569) has long been 

misinterpreted through the lens of the Awakening of Faith. The fundamental difference between the two 

is that a strict distinction between unconditioned (asamskṛta) and conditioned (samskṛta) is maintained 

in Paramārtha, but this distinction was blurred or even totally effaced by the Awakening of Faith

In recent years, I came to realize that my previous claim was made based on a misreading of the Awakening 

of Faith, which actually still maintains the distinction just like Paramārtha does. In this talk, I will show 

this by providing a new interpretation of the notion of storehouse consciousness (阿賴耶識) of the 

Awakening of Faith. I will further support my new observation by suggesting that my new interpretation 

of the storehouse consciousness also aligns with the notion of the storehouse consciousness of the 

Laṅkāvatāra-sūtra.
