This book is a guide for beginning to develop a sadhana vocabulary, an easier task than you might think. Based on a count of all the words in seven well-known peaceful sadhanas, you will find that only 150 words are found in many of them--that's a manageable number to learn! If you want to learn the words in all seven sadhanas, there are only about 600 more. Or, you can quickly select out words from your favorite sadhana, even just the words in its visualization section. Remembering these words will be easy, as you will use them every time you practice. To facilitate efficient learning, words from the Chenrezik, Medicine Buddha, Green Tara, and Ngondro's Refuge, Vajrasattva, Mandala, or Guru Yoga sadhanas were counted as either frequently used, less used, or rarely used. Also included is a very useful Tibetan-English index, English-Tibetan index, and appendices (the Tibetan alphabet, finding the root letter, prefixes etc, organization of the Tibetan dictionary, and a list of verbs and tenses from the sadhanas).
