Introduction

This is the recently revised edition of the brief self-generation sadhana of Heruka body mandala called The Yoga of Buddha Heruka. Buddha Heruka is the Highest Yoga Tantra Deity who is the embodiment of the union of great bliss and emptiness.

Those who have received the Heruka empowerment, but who are unable to recite the extensive Heruka sadhana, Essence of Vajrayana, can begin with this brief essential yoga of Heruka body mandala self-generation.

It is extremely important to improve our understanding of and faith in this practice through a careful reading of its commentary. With clear understanding and strong faith we can enjoy this quintessential practice of Highest Yoga Tantra and attain the ultimate goal of human life.
