This book contains the liturgies and explanatory texts needed for the practice of Blue Achala . As is usually the case with Tibetan liturgies, various pieces have to be drawn from one text or another and used in a certain arrangement. This book also contains the instructions needed to make the actual arrangements for practice; these are according to Lama Godi. The practice of Achala is a path of method practice. The practice was originally taught by Guru Rinpoche to three of his disciples. He instructed them to conceal it as a treasure which was later revealed by Choggyur Lingpa. There are four different practices of Achala: white, yellow, red, and blue. The practice of blue Achala is the first practice to be done. It is the basis for all other Achala practices and is also a basis for the path of liberation practices. The first text in the book is a summary of the entire path of Achala practice put together by Padma Do Ngag Lingpa, the first Khyentse Rinpoche.
