Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha
Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha (T. de bzhin gshegs pa thams cad kyi de kho na nyid bsdus pa; C. Yiqie rulai zhenshishe dasheng xianzheng sanmei dajiaowang jing; 切如來眞實攝大乘現證三昧大敎王經), or "Compendium of Principles of all the Tathagatas," is one of the most important Buddhist tantras.[1] "Likely dating from the late seventh century, the text presented a range of doctrines, themes, and practices that would come to be regarded as emblematic of tantric practice.[1]
In East Asia, the first chapter of this text was particularly influential. A version of this chapter was translated earlier than the rest of the Sarvatathāgatatattvasaṃgraha. This version, as an independent text, is known as the Vajrasekhara Sutra.[1]
The full text is also known by the title Tattvasaṃgraha (T. de kho na nyid bsdus pa).[2]
