Introduction

This CD features a complete recording of the condensed Heruka body mandala self-generation practice, Vajra Hero Yoga, and also includes the brief Heruka tsog offering practice, entitled Assembly of Good Fortune.

Vajra Hero Yoga is a brief essential practice of Heruka body mandala especially devised for those who have received the empowerment and commentary but are unable to practice the extensive sadhana, Essence of Vajrayana. It is most important to improve our understanding of this practice through careful reading of the book Essence of Vajrayana, available from Tharpa Publications.

For practitioners of Highest Yoga Tantra in general, and of Heruka and Vajrayogini in particular, the tsog offering is a very powerful method for renewing commitments and averting obstacles. It is a special method through which they come under the care and guidance of the Dakas and Dakinis who bestow completion stage realizations. The tsog offering is a principal method for attaining both outer and inner Pure Dakini Land.
