Description
This paper aims to show the strong connection between śraddhā and Mahāyānist practice expounded in the first chapter, Dānapāramitā, of the Śikṣāsamuccaya. The common meaning of śraddhā in Buddhist literature is the first step of practice, namely to put one's faith in the Three Jewels, and purity of one's mind. On the other hand, there is no difference in the basic meaning of śraddhā in the Śikṣāsamuccaya compared with other texts, but the manner of explanation is unique. That is, it expands the awakening of śraddhā based on the observation of parātmasamatā (equality of oneself and others), avoidance of unfortunate conditions such as akṣaṇa (eight difficulties) by śraddhā, and accumulation of merits by śraddhā and transfer of those merits. From these views, we can see that, in the explanations of śraddhā in the Śikṣāsamuccaya, aspects conducive to the bodhisattva's practices are emphasized. (Source Accessed Feb 15, 2022)

Śikṣāsamuccaya (T. Bslab pa kun las btus pa; C. Dasheng ji pusa xue lun; J. Daijōjū bosatsugakuron; K. Taesǔng chip posal hak non 大乘集菩薩學論). In Sanskrit, "Compendium of Training," a work by the eighth-century Indian Mahāyāna master Śāntideva. It consists of twenty-seven stanzas on the motivation and practice of the bodhisattva, including bodhicitta, the six perfections (pāramitā), the worship of buddhas and bodhisattvas, the benefits of renunciation, and the peace derived from the knowledge of emptiness (śūnyatā). The topic of each of the stanzas receives elaboration in the form of a prose commentary by the author as well as in illustrative passages, often quite extensive, drawn from a wide variety of Mahāyāna sūtras. Some ninety-seven texts are cited in all, many of which have been lost in their original Sanskrit, making the Śikṣāsamuccaya an especially important source for the textual history of Indian Buddhism. These citations also offer a window into which sūtras were known to a Mahāyāna author in eighth-century India. The digest of passages that Śāntideva provides was repeatedly drawn upon by Tibetan authors in their citations of sūtras. Although Śāntideva's Bodhicaryāvatāra and Śikṣāsamuccaya both deal with similar topics, the precise relation between the two texts is unclear. Several of the author's verses appear in both texts and some of the sūtra passages from the Śikṣāsamuccaya also appear in the Bodhicaryāvatāra. One passage in the Bodhicaryāvatāra also refers readers to the Śikṣāsamuccaya, but this line does not occur in the Dunhuang manuscript of the text and may be a later interpolation.
