To celebrate Heruka Day, we are engaging in The Yoga of Buddha Heruka puja followed by a community potluck. You must have Highest Yoga Tantra empowerment to engage in the chanted prayer.

“Those who have received the empowerment of Heruka body mandala, but who are unable to practise the extensive sadhana, Essence of Vajrayana, can practise this short sadhana, which contains the very essence of Heruka body mandala practice.

It is very important to improve our understanding of and faith in this precious practice through sincerely studying its commentary as presented  in Modern Buddhism – Volume 2: Tantra, in the chapter The Practice of Heruka Body Mandala. Having understood the meaning clearly and with strong faith we can enter, make progress on and complete the quick path to the enlightened state of Buddha Heruka.” — Geshe Kelsang Gyatso
