Acknowledgements I am deeply thankful to Tara Foundation of Germany for financing the translation of a number of sacred texts from Achi Beubum including this. I thank His Holiness Drigung Chetsang Rinpoche for sending me a copy of Songtsen Library’s Achi Beubum. I equally thank Nagchu Konchok Tsultrim for his active part in it. I thank Adhak Tripa, Wangyal Rinpoche, for lending me his copy of Gelong Tenzin Nima Rinpoche’s Achi Beubum, and Lamkhyen Gyalpo Rinpoche for sending me a copy of his text, which he got from late Khenpo Togdrol Rinpoche of Ladakh. These three copies were extremely useful in resolving slight variations in words, spellings and grammar. I thank the following for helping me with clarifications on various terms and concepts:

Nagchu Konchok Tsultrim of Songtsen Library Khenpo Rangdol of Kagyü College

Last but not least, I thank my wife, Genyenla, for helping me with the proofreading.

Important Translator’s Note Achi’s Sadhana, by Kyobpa Jigten Sumgon, is from Achi Beubum. Beubum is a collection of quintessential instructions (upadesha) revealed only to qualified practitioners by highly realized beings. The purpose of this translation, into English, is to benefit a wider range of qualified practitioners. To reap the fruit of this secret and profound practice, the translator strongly urges all end users of this text to, first, seek for the permission of a qualified Drigung master to use this text, without which, I am told, that there could be serious consequences.
