Vasubandhu's explication of this doctrine as well as the Lankanavatara are the some primary sources for the systematization of this doctrine. Later non-Indian Buddhist traditions such as the Huayan School also developed this doctrine through works such as Fa-Zhang's essay "On the Golden Lion." Developed theoretically during the Yogacara school, this doctrine's analysis of sva-bhava or "own-being" is explicitly rejected by Nagarjuna. One part of this doctrine relates to the "other-dependent" or "incomplete-awakening" of the bodhisattvas and relates to the "shared-reward" or "sambhoga" form of this doctrine, which allows them to be understood as a bridge in this doctrine. The first or "nirmana" form of this doctrine refers to the historical manifestation of the Buddha. FTP, name this doctrine which holds that the Buddha-nature can be understood has having three forms or bodies.
