Asanga

The Compendium of Abhidharma (Skt. Abhidharmasamuccaya; Tib. མངོན་པ་ཀུན་བཏུས་, Wyl. mngon pa kun btus; Tib. ngönpa küntü) was composed by Asanga, one of the 'Six Ornaments', the greatest Buddhist authorities of Ancient India. Abhidharma-samuccaya is a complete and systematic account of the Abhidharma. It is included among the so-called "Thirteen great texts", which form the core of the curriculum in most shedras and on which Khenpo Shenga provided commentaries.
