DECEMBER 30 THREE BODIES OF THE BUDDHA
The three bodies of a Buddha are the Dharmakaya, Samboghakaya, and Nirmanakaya. The Nirmanakaya is the physical form of the buddha we are familiar with in statues and paintings. The Samboghakaya is visible only to beings who have experienced emptiness. The Dharmakaya is formless and not visible but the other two bodies emanate from it.
