Dodrupchen seems to keep coming up for me lately. I tracked this down to read it because I found that someone was going to be teaching a Zoom class on it, which I wasn't sure I would be able to attend. (I didn't, as it turns out.) About a third of the way into it, though, I could see what a brilliant source for a class it is, in any of several traditions in addition to the Mahayana Buddhism which is its source, being as it were a commentary on a tiny piece of the Bodhicaryāvatāra of the 8th century monk Śāntideva. Of course, when I prepare my on class on this basis, I'll be taking a rather less monastic angle on it.
