Overcoming attachment through focus on mastering bliss

As explained in Tibetan commentaries, practices focused on the tantric deity Chakrasamvara and his consort Vajrayogini are means of overcoming attachment, desire, and the ignorance of not realizing the true nature of reality, which is the emptiness of all phenomena. These mental afflictions are among the fundamental causes of the endless cycle of birth, death, and rebirth known as samsara.
