Use 「悟り」 for Buddhist awakening or sudden insight into truth, as in 「悟りを開く」. Say 「大悟」 for complete enlightenment, 「涅槃」 for the highest state, and 「成仏」 for becoming a Buddha or, euphemistically, dying at peace. 「円寂」「悟道」「開悟」「菩提」 are formal or written Buddhist terms, 「ニルヴァーナ」 the loanword; the opposites are 「迷い」 and 「無明」.
