How does each yana deal with each affliction?

Re: Dealing With Afflictions
This is all dealt with in The Words of My Perfect Teacher and A Guide to the WOMPT.
"All phenomena of samsara depend on the mind, so when the essence of mind is purified, samsara is purified. Since the phenomena of nirvana depend on the pristine consciousness of vidyā, because one remains in the immediacy of vidyā, buddhahood arises on its own. All critical points are summarized with those two." - Longchenpa
Re: Dealing With Afflictions
So it says this yana deals with ignorance, attachment, anger, pride and jealously these ways etc etc?

Re: Dealing With Afflictions
Yes. It covers the afflictions from the scope of different yanas and beings of different capacities while discussing the different outcomes for those dispositions.

Re: Dealing With Afflictions
You should read the whole thing.
But in Khenpo Ngakchungs guide you can get information on the defilements in the sections covering the defects of samsara, karma, and benefits of liberation, basically the entire section on the common preliminaries. The same is true in WOMPT.
Both books discuss afflictions, defilements, negative emotions in the context of various different aspects of fundamental dharma and explain how they are approached by different yanas and capacities.
