Description

No abstract given. Here are the first relevant paragraphs:

The Śikṣāsamuccaya has not received much attention from scholars although it contains a great number of extracts from texts which have not been preserved elsewhere in the Sanskrit original. For this reason Jürg Hedinger's book is to be welcomed. The main part of his study is an analysis of chapters 11-13 of the Śikṣāsamuccaya which deal with life in the forest and meditative practices: 'III. Das Leben in der Wildnis' (pp. 37-47); 'IV. Die Schulung der geistigen Prozesse' (pp. 49-96); 'V. Die Anwendung der Achtsamkeit' (pp. 97-139). The introductory chapter gives some information on Śāntideva, his work and his place in the history of the Madhyamaka school. Useful is the analysis of the structure of the Śikṣāsamuccaya. The next chapter gives a brief survey of the contents of the first ten chapters. Chapters 14-19 are briefly discussed in the sixth chapter of Hedinger's book: 'VI. Die weiteren Stadien der Bodhisattvalaufbahn' (pp. 141 — 161). The book concludes with an English summary (pp. 165-168), a bibliography (pp. 169-173) and a Sanskrit index (pp. 175–178).
