Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: About Ālayavijñāna.
Ālayavijñāna Yogācāra/Mind-only school kā ek mahatvapūrṇ siddhānta hai. Yah “storehouse consciousness” ke rūp meṁ mana-jagat kī vyākhyā kartā hai. Yah Buddhist temples se sambandhit nahīṁ hai. Islie (A) galat hai.
Step 2: Nāgārjuna and Śūnyavāda.
Nāgārjuna ne khud Śūnyavāda kā siddhānta sthāpit kiyā aur pramāṇit kiyā. Unhoṁne is par “blame” nahīṁ kiyā. Islie (B) galat hai.
Step 3: Tripiṭaka Collection.
Tripiṭaka ko pehle Buddhist council (Rājagṛha) meṁ Mahākassapa ke netr̥tva meṁ saṅgrahit kiyā gayā. Asaṅga 4th century CE ke Buddhist scholar the, isliye yah galat hai.
Step 4: Vedic Philosophies vs Buddhism.
Vedic philosophies jaise Mīmāṁsā aur Vedānta ne Bauddha vāda ko kaṭhōr rūp se ālochit kiyā. Unhoṁne uske śūnyatā aur anātmavāda ko na mānā. Yah sahi hai.
Step 5: Buddha and Karma-siddhānta.
Buddha ne Karma-siddhānta ko svīkār kiyā, na ki nindā. Islie (E) galat hai.
Step 6: Conclusion.
Sirf (D) sahi hai.
