Sādhana (Sanskrit: साधन; Tibetan: སྒྲུབ་ཐབས་, THL: druptap; Chinese: 修行; pinyin: xiūxíng) is an ego-transcending spiritual practice. It includes a variety of disciplines from any culture like Hindu, Buddhist, Jain and Sikh traditions that are followed in order to achieve various spiritual or ritual objectives. Sādhana can also refer to a tantric liturgy or liturgical manual, that is, the instructions to carry out a certain practice.
