Chod
Chod is a ritual technique in the Nyingma and Kagyu traditions of Tibetan Buddhism, as well as in Bon. In a Chod ritual, the practitioner visualizes dismembering of his or her body and offering it to demons. This method is “cutting through” or destroying the ego, which is the primary impediment to awakening (enlightenment).
