| About Offering Tsok to Heruka
Vajrasattva
Practitioners of the mother class of Highest Yoga Tantra
must offer tsok to the guru-deity twice a month. Most
perform the Guru Puja in fulfillment of this requirement,
but in 1982 Lama Yeshe wrote the Heruka Vajrasattva
tsok offering "in case students were getting bored
with the older pujas. It's shorter, too, and therefore
suits our busy Western lifestyles!"
Lama also said, "Highest Yoga Tantra contains
methods by which you can attain enlightenment in a single
lifetime, but before you can actualize these you must
purify yourself. Practicing Heruka Vajrasattva is one
of the most powerful ways of doing so."
In three teachings, recorded at Vajrapani Institute,
Boulder Creek, California, in July and August, 1983—a
mere eight months before he passed away—Lama Yeshe
explains what the Heruka Vajrasattva tsok offering is
and how to do it.
There is also an audio recording of Lama chanting the
puja he composed, from Geneva, Switzerland, 3 October
1983.
These teachings have been published as Becoming
Vajrasattva: The Tantric Path of Purification
(Wisdom Publications, 1994).
