​

Chöd literally means "to sever",  and is a tantric practice developed by the Tibetan teacher Machig Labdron. It is a radical method for cutting through the inflation of ego-fixation through the willingness to accept what is undesirable, the disregard of difficult circumstances, the realization that gods and demons are one’s own mind, and the understanding that oneself and others are utterly equal. Chöd is based on the view of the prajñāpāramitā teachings, and employs the skillful methods of tantra.
