Means for Attainment (sgrub thabs)

The literature of the Buddhist tantras is classified into tantra-texts and means for attainment (Skt. sādhana). The former are general expositions concerning the continua of the ground, path and result associated with a particular maṇḍala of deities, while the latter are specific blueprints derived from and inspired by the former as the detailed means for attainment of a specific maṇḍala of deities. Such practices have four integral phases, which are often known as the four aspects of ritual service and means for attainment (bsnyen sgrub yan lag bzhi).
