Description
No abstract given. Here are the first relevant paragraphs:
The Śikṣāsamuccaya [Anthology of Instruction] (SK) is attributed to Śāntideva, who was among the more influential Indian Buddhist scholastics and intellectuals.[47] As a result much hagiography accumulated around his name,[48] and it is no longer possible to separate from these stories information that a positivistically inclined historian might think of as being historically reliable.[49] All that matters for my purposes is that Śāntideva probably lived from the last quarter of the seventh century to early in the second half of the eighth, and that he probably did much of his work at Nālandā. The SK is in classical Sanskrit (except when the works from which it takes excerpts are not).
Counting by syllables and verses, the SK contains about 192,000 syllables (6,000 verses). At the standard recitation speed of nine verses to the minute, it would take about eleven hours to recite. Almost all of it consists of excerpts from other works: my estimate is that Śāntideva's own words comprise between 3 and 5 percent of the whole work. Most of these words are very brief phrases introducing an excerpt and giving the title of the work from which it was taken, just as with Nāgārjuna's SS. But there are places where Śāntideva says more, for instance in his introductory remarks at the beginning of the whole work (3–4), and sometimes when he introduces a new topic, summarizes one just dealt with, or indicates where to find more on a topic (41, 69-70, 146, 187). There are also a few places where he offers a digest or paraphrase of what is said in some other work or works rather than a direct quotation (11-12, 66, 81, 92, 147). But even counting all questionable cases, Śāntideva's own words, as auctor rather than compilator to recall Bonaventure's way of putting things, do not amount to more than 5 percent of the whole. (Griffiths, "Śikṣāsamuccaya (Anthology of Instruction)," 133)
Notes
47. I quote and translate from P. L. Vaidya, ed., Śikṣāsamuccaya (Darbhanga, 1961)—parenthetical numbers in my text refer to the pages of this edition. I've also profited from the English version by Cecil Bendall and W. H. D. Rouse, Śikṣā-samuccaya (Delhi, 1981; first pub. 1922).
48. For an example of traditional Buddhist hagiography on Śāntideva see Losang Norbu Tsonawa, Transl., Indian Buddhist Pandits (New Delhi, 1985), 60–64.
49. Examples of contemporary historical treatment of Śāntideva are Pezzali, Śāntideva, 3–45; J. W. de Jong "La légende de Śāntideva," Indo-Iranian Journal 16 (1974), 162–182.
