klong (ཀློང) refers to the concept of “spaciousness” within the Longdé divisions of Dzogchen (Atiyoga)—the pinnacle of the nine-fold division of practice according to the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism.—Longdé emphasises the emptiness (stong pa) or spaciousness (klong) aspect of the Natural State. Penor Rinpoche attributes longdé to Dorje Zampa, Sri Singha and Vairotsana’s lineage. The series of Space reflects the developments of the 11th–14th centuries and emphasizes “space” or “expanse” (klong). “Space” in these texts is used to describe aspects in which the individual’s true nature of mind is analogous to space. For example, space is present everywhere and no effort is needed to reach it; it cannot be transcended: it is immense. encompassing everything: it is devoid of characteristics and cannot be apprehended; it is without center or periphery; it is eternal and uncaused; there is no support in space and nothing to focus on: and so forth.
