The Shikshasamucchaya (Skt. Śikṣāsamuccaya) or Compendium of Training or Compendium of Precepts (Tib. བསླབ་པ་ཀུན་བཏུས་, labpa kün tü; Wyl. bslab pa kun btus) by Shantideva presents clearly and in detail the conduct that bodhisattvas should embrace at all times. It is the longest of the three texts written by Shantideva, the Sutrasamucchaya being the shorter one and the Bodhicharyavatara the middle length text. (Nagarjuna's text called Shikshasamucchaya, mentioned by Shantideva in the Bodhicharyavatara, is no longer available.)
It was translated into Tibetan by Jinamitra, Danashila and Yeshé Dé, and later revised by Kashmiri Tilakakalasa and Ngok Loden Sherab.
Gendün Chöpel discovered an Indian manuscript of the Shikshasamucchaya at Sakya Monastery.
It is organized as a commentary on twenty-seven short mnemonic verses known as the Śikṣāsamuccaya Kārikā (Tib.བསླབ་པ་ཀུན་ལས་བཏུས་པའི་ཚིག་ལེའུ་བྱས་པ་, Wyl. bslab pa kun las btus pa'i tshig le'u byas pa). It consists primarily of quotations (of varying length) from sutras — generally those sutras associated with the Mahayana tradition.[1]
