Description
The Caryāsaṃgrahapradīpa ("Lamp for Integrating the Practices") is a short manual composed by Dīpaṃkaraśrījñāna, translated into Tibetan by the author together with the lotsāwa-monk Tsultrim Gyalwa. The text presents a practical guide to bodhisattva conduct following the path of the perfections, noting that secret mantra teachings are not addressed. It covers the generation of bodhicitta and taking of bodhisattva vows, study of sūtras and śāstras, ethical conduct, sense restraint, moderation in food, structured daytime and nighttime practice sessions, the seven-limb prayer, aspiration prayers, circumambulation, recitation, and meditative rest. The colophon states the text was composed in Nepal at the request of a friend.
