'''Sadhana''' (Skt. ''sādhana''; Tib. [[སྒྲུབ་ཐབས་]], ''druptap''; [[Wyl.]] ''sgrub thabs'') — literally ‘means of accomplishment’. A sadhana is a ritual text presenting the ''means'' to ''accomplish'' one or several [[deity|deitie]]s, who in essence are the ultimate state of a [[buddha]]. As we follow [[Anuttarayoga Tantra]] sadhana practice texts and actualize their meaning, we develop an enlightened vision of the world: we visualize ourselves as a buddha or deity, and our surroundings as a pure realm or ‘[[buddha field]]’, while recognizing that all sounds are [[mantra]], and all thoughts are [[primordial wisdom]]. This process is at first artificial, something which is developed or generated through the practices of [[kyerim]] and [[dzogrim]], but the visualizations correspond to the visionary experience of enlightened beings. By adopting these new habits of perception, we can weaken the ordinary habits of gross perception based on ignorance and emotional tendencies, and put ourselves in touch with a more subtle level of experience.

==The Prerequisites of Sadhana Practice==
There are three components needed in order to engage in a specific sadhana practice: 
*the [[empowerment]] (Tib. [[དབང་]], ''wang''), 
*the [[oral transmission]] (Tib. [[ལུང་]], ''lung''), and 
*the [[secret instruction]] (Tib. [[ཁྲིད་]], ''tri'') 
which are all granted or bestowed by a qualified master for each specific practice. 	 

*The empowerment or ''wang'' is to mature or ripen us. 
*The oral transmission or ''lung'' is to connect us.	 
*The secret instruction or ''tri'' is to liberate us.

==Types of Sadhana==
In the sadhanas of the [[three outer classes of tantra|outer tantras]]—[[kriya tantra]], [[charya tantra]] or upayoga tantra, and [[yoga tantra]]—we invoke the presence of the deity in the sky before us, as in [[guru yoga]]. In the sadhanas of the [[inner tantras]]—[[mahayoga]], [[anuyoga]], and [[atiyoga]], or the [[Anuttarayoga Tantra]] of the [[Sarma]] schools—we ourselves arise in the form of the deity.

==Sadhanas Practised by the [[About Rigpa|Rigpa]] [[Sangha]]==
Practices such as: [[Riwo Sangchö]]; [[Tendrel Nyesel]]; [[The Wisdom Mind Practice of One Phurba]]; [[Dudjom Rinpoche]]'s [[The Essential Daily Practice of Vajrakilaya]]; [[Rigdzin Düpa]]; [[Yang Nying Pudri]]; and [[Yumka Dechen Gyalmo]] are all sadhanas.
