In Buddhism
Tibetan Buddhism (Vajrayana or tantric Buddhism)
: Wisdom Experience: The Nyingma School of Tibetan Buddhismchos nyid (嘟嗋郊嘟︵紜嘟夃讲嘟�) or 鈥渞eality鈥� refers to one of the 鈥淔our Spaces鈥� (klong-bzhi). The teaching of the Four Spaces comprise the four kinds of Spatial Class (Longde or klong-sde) which represents one of the three Divisions of Atiyoga (Dzogchen).鈥擫ongde (klong-sde) teaches that all apparitions of reality are free from activity and liberated from the extreme of the antidote, because they are perfectly gathered in Samantabhadr墨, the space of reality. [...] If classified, this Spatial Class (Longde, klong-sde) consists of four categories [of teaching]: [...] There are four sub-classifications, [...] If these [four kinds of Spatial Class] are then subsumed, they comprise the teaching of the Four Spaces (klong-bzhi) concerning: [e.g., reality (chos-nyid)]. [...] If these categories of the Spatial Class (longde) are similarly subsumed, they are gathered into Nine Spaces.
: TLC Transitional Life Care: Bardo ExplanationsChonyid refers to the fifth of the Six Bardos which refers to the six states of consciousness (associated with the phases of life and death), according to Tibetan Buddhism.鈥擳eachings on the bardos are not only considered useful for navigating the death planes. All of the Six Bardos can be understood as transitional states. [...] [Regarding the fifth Bardo (chonyid)]: A series of dream or trance-like visions and auditory sensations that each being experiences differently based on their remaining karmas, particularly their intense aversions or desires. An experienced Buddhist practitioner, one able to recognize the clear light of the fourth bardo (even if liberation was not attained there), will be able to maintain an inner equanimity during this phase, and even experience transcendent realms of being, while others will be trapped in full delusion, as if immersed in a movie or dream.
Tibetan Buddhism includes schools such as Nyingma, Kadampa, Kagyu and Gelug. Their primary canon of literature is divided in two broad categories: The Kangyur, which consists of Buddha鈥檚 words, and the Tengyur, which includes commentaries from various sources. Esotericism and tantra techniques (惫补箩谤补测腻苍补) are collected indepently.
General definition (in Buddhism)
: WikiPedia: BuddhismChonyid (chos nyid) refers to the fifth bardo of the luminosity of the true nature which commences after the final inner breath (Sanskrit: 辫谤腻峁嘺, 惫腻测耻; Tibetan: rlung), representing one of the Six Bardos. It is within this Chonyid Bardo that visions and auditory phenomena occur. In the Dzogchen teachings, these are known as the spontaneously manifesting Thodgal (thod rgyal) visions. Concomitant to these visions, there is a welling of profound peace and pristine awareness. Sentient beings who have not practiced during their lived experience and/or who do not recognize the clear light (od gsal) at the moment of death are usually deluded throughout the fifth bardo of luminosity.
