Compendium of Sadhanas (Tib. སྒྲུབ་ཐབས་ཀུན་བཏུས་, drubtab kün tü, Wyl. sgrub thabs kun btus)[1], also named The Collection of All Methods of Accomplishment — a collection of major sadhanas and instructions belonging to the four classes of tantra from various Tibetan Buddhist lineages compiled by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892) and his disciple Jamyang Loter Wangpo (1847-1914). Today, the Compendium of Sadhanas is widely used. Most authorization rituals and practice liturgies given by Sakya lamas—except for the Lamdre and Vajrayogini cycles—are taken from this collection.

The New Glorious Bestower of Immortality, A Long-Life Practice and Empowerment that Unites the Oral, Treasure and Visionary Teachings, translated by Stefan Mang with the kind assistance of Han Kop, 2020. - Colophon: As the sun-like compassion of Padmasambhava and the Iron Bridge Builder shines, The grove of white lotus flowers of wisdom and intelligence bloom, And this fresh nectar-like teaching on obtaining supreme and ordinary siddhis, Is naturally revealed! Without fabricating anything unrelated to the original practice, Chöjé Lingpa arranged this garland-like addendum, Which unites the oral and treasure lineages. Through the original revelation may the state of Samantabhadra be spontaneously accomplished! Sarvadā maṅgalaṃ!
