retreat of Heruka body mandala will be completed. Until the fire
puja is completed you should engage in at least two sessions of
The Yoga of Buddha Heruka each day, making torma offerings in the
last session.
Once you have completed the close retreat of Heruka body
mandala you can engage in the practice of Heruka body mandala
self-initiation, which can be found in the sadhana Union of No
More Learning. It is most important that whenever you recite the
sadhana The Yoga of Buddha Heruka you should strongly concentrate
on its meaning, free from distraction and impure motivation.
Between sessions you should carefully read the commentary to
this sadhana presented in Modern Buddhism – Volume 2: Tantra,
in the chapter The Practice of Heruka Body Mandala.
