In Vajrayana or Tibetan Buddhism, Tantra is believed to be the path to Enlightenment, a focus of mind found through meditation, whether physical or mental. The highest forms of Tantra transforms sensual pleasure to a form of meditation. The Cakrasamvara Tantra (or “the Wheel of Great Bliss”, the quintessential of the “Mother” or physical Tantras of this class, takes the act of sex and the pleasure derived from it as the focal point of meditation. By focusing on the pleasure in the act of sex, participants achieve clarity of mind and an experience close to Nirvana. This ritual takes these principles and puts them into practice for Cainites. The priest first finds a partner who must be willing before proceeding in engaging in sexual activity which must also culminate in sexual union. They must engage in this activity for no less than half an hour. Due to the mystical nature of ritae, the participants experience sex as mortals would, their dead flesh able to experience physical pleasure again, regardless of whether they walk a Path of Enlightenment or not. Participants focus their minds and attention on this pleasure and, at the point of orgasm, experience a clarity of mind so powerful that they enter into a state of supreme calm. For the remainder of the night, participants in this ritual are +1 to all Self-Control or Instinct Challenges.
