Compendium of Sadhanas (Tib. སྒྲུབ་ཐབས་ཀུན་བཏུས་, drubtab kün tü, Wyl. sgrub thabs kun btus)[1], also named The Collection of All Methods of Accomplishment — a collection of major sadhanas and instructions belonging to the four classes of tantra from various Tibetan Buddhist lineages compiled by Jamyang Khyentse Wangpo (1820-1892) and his disciple Jamyang Loter Wangpo (1847-1914). Today, the Compendium of Sadhanas is widely used. Most authorization rituals and practice liturgies given by Sakya lamas—except for the Lamdre and Vajrayogini cycles—are taken from this collection.
