Saṃkṣiptābhiṣekavidhi (संक्षिप्ताभिषेकविधि)is the name of a work attributed to Vāgīśvarakīrti: an East Indian tantric Buddhist scholar whose views were considered important enough to be contested sometime before 1057ce.—The Saṃkṣiptābhiṣekavidhi is a succinct initiation manual for the Guhyasamāja system, which also contains a fascinating polemic passage (Onians 2002, 279–289). At present we may access only one manuscript; this has been edited by Munenobu Sakurai, but is in dire need of being revisited. Another witness, now probably in Lhasa, is mentioned in the catalogue KCDS, p. 139.
