English term: The Compendium of Abhidharma
English definition: Composed by Asanga (4th-5th centuries), it is “the higher one” of the two major Indian Abhidharma treatises, the “lower one” being The Treasury of Abhidharma by his half-brother Vasubhandu. Asanga’s work summarizes the Abhidharma as presented by the Chittamatra/Mahāyana school of Indian Buddhism. It is divided into two main parts, each of them with its own chapters. Part one (“The Compendium of Characteristics”) has four chapters: 1) “Three Dharmas” and “Division of Aspects”; 2) “Grouping”, 3) “Conjuction”, and 4) “Accompaniment”. Part two (“The Compendium of Determining”) has four chapters: 1) “Determining the Truths”, 2) “Determining the Teaching”, 3) “Determining Acquisitions”, and 4) Determining Dialectic.
