Abhidharma-samuccaya

The Abhidharma-samuccaya (Sanskrit; Wylie: mngon pa kun btus; English: "Compendium of Abhidharma") is a Buddhist text composed by Asaṅga.

It provides a framework, as well as a general pattern, as to how a practitioner is to follow the path, develop oneself and finally attain Buddhahood.

"[4] The Abhidharmasamuccaya survives in full Chinese (by Xuanzang) and Tibetan translations (by Yeshe de).

For example, the important term ālayavijñāna ("Store-house Consciousnesses") appears not more than six times, with all six occurrences in the "Lakṣaṇasamuccaya" section, i.e. in the first third of the work.

[5] According to Walpola Rahula the Abhidharmasamuccaya is more faithful to the presentation of the dhyānas found in the suttas than the Theravada Abhidhamma texts.
