The Shedasheng lun; Maha^ya^na sam!parigraha-/sa^stra （Compendium of the Great Vehicle; Summary of the Great Vehicle）. An anthology of Maha^ya^na essays， ascribed to Asan%ga 无著. This work gives an overview of most of the important categories in the Yoga^ca^ra system 瑜伽行派， including the eight consciousnesses 八识， conscious construction 唯识， the three natures 三性， affliction 烦恼， two hindrances 二障， buddha-bodies 佛身， and meditative practices that lead to liberation. It is a seminal text in the Yoga^ca^ra tradition， of which three translations were done into Chinese: （1） By Buddhasanta 佛陀扇多 （2 fasc.， T 1592.31.97-112.）. This is the earliest translation， the language of which is considered to be the most difficult to understand. It also lacks the chapter and section divisions contained in the later works. （2） By Parama^rtha 真谛 （3 fasc.， T 1593.31.112b-132c.）. This has been translated into English by John Keenan （Keenan 1992）. （3） By Xuanzang 玄奘 （3 fasc.， T 1594.31.132c-152）， with the title 摄大乘论本. There are three commentaries to the text， contained in T 1595， 1596， and 1597.
