Theory of Three Body - Three Body of Buddha.

The Mahayana Buddhism's Trikaya teaches us that a Buddha manifests in three different ways. A Buddha can be an absolute being when it appears in the relative world for the benefit of sentient beings. Understanding the Three Truths can shed light on a lot of confusion about the nature of a Buddha.

Before we find out what the Three Truths are, the quick view of the Four Noble Truths of  Mahayana Buddhism  will be very helpful.

We often feel the world as a place full of different things, dogs, chickens ... plum trees. However, things only exist in a relative way, and things are only identified when they relate to other things-phenomena.

The Two Truths  (two truths) say that existence can be understood in absolute and relative sense. Relative truths are the way we often see in this world, a place with so many interesting, diverse and diverse creatures.

The absolute or ultimate truth is that there is not anything special, separate. However, saying that there is no difference-phenomena does not mean that nothing exists. There is no distinction between the object and the object.

The absolute is the Dharmakaya, the unity of all things. The body consists of the dharmakaya body, body and body. These are the words you will find very much in Mahayana Buddhism.

The Three Elements theory has become an important part of the Mahayana teachings, as a means of reconciling conflicting interpretations of the Buddha found in Buddhist texts.

It is interesting, No. 3 as a positive symbol in different cultures and religions. Not only does Buddhism speak of the three bodies of the Buddha, but also the Trinitarians and the Hindus talk about Trimurti - the three different forms of the Divine.

The premise for the trilogy is the dialogue in the Pali canon when the Buddha tells Vsettha that the Tathagata is the Dharmakaya, the truth, the embodiment of truth, or the " into truth ".

The dharma body literally means "true body" or "body of truth." On another occasion, Bhikkhu Vakkali who wanted to see the Buddha before his death received his teachings, the text from the Samyutta Sutra is as follows:

Enough, Vakkali. Why do you want to see this dirty body? Whoever sees France sees me, anyone who sees me sees the Fa. "

This is understood to be the material body of the Buddha (rupakaya) and the aspect of Dharmakaya that continues after death. Since the Buddha told Vakkali that he was a "mirror of truth" of the Fa, there was no material form to relate, the Buddha's disciples could only relate to the aspect of Dharmakaya.

The Three Mind Truths may have been developed by the Sarvastivada school, an early school of Buddhism separated from Theravada. However, the doctrine was adopted and developed in the Mahayana, partly to explain the possibility of becoming a Buddha of beings in the Ta-ma.

The Mahayana monks were interested in the transcendental aspect of the Dharma and the doctrine of the trinity was first presented in the Lotus Sutra, a Buddhist text that appeared in the first century BC. . It implies that, if the Dharma is transcendent, completely beyond space and time, so is the dharma body.

One answer to this is the development of the concept of the Tathagatagarbha, the nature of the Buddha or Buddha nature. Another part is the birth of the Messenger, a "form of mediation" between the body and the body.

Baptism is the aspect of the Buddha or the Dharma, which only the "attainers of enlightenment" can feel in a state of deep meditation.

What is a flesh body?

Dharmakaya means "true body." Dharmakaya is absolute, the unity of all phenomena. The dharmakaya goes beyond existence or does not exist, beyond the concepts that people think.

The 11th Chogyam Trungpa calls the dharmakaya "the basis of original conception." Dharmakaya is not something special "belonging to the Buddha," but it is the original nature of the universe, it Always exists whether or not there is a Buddha preaching on it.

Dhamma is sometimes identified with  Buddhahood , the great doctrine of Mahayana Buddhism that speaks of the basic nature of all sentient beings. In the dhamma, there is no distinction between Buddha and other people.

The dharma body is synonymous with perfect enlightenment, beyond every form of perception. It is also synonymous with  emptiness  (sunyata).

When one attains perfect enlightenment, it means that the essence recognizes the Buddha-nature as well as attains a profound insight into emptiness. Therefore, the main manifestation of a fully enlightened Buddha is the absolute reality without distinction.

What is the Message?

Sambhogakaya means "happy body" or "body reward" (Sanskrit: Sambhogakaya). The "body of bliss" is the body that feels bliss from realization.

The body of the Buddha is usually worshiped. A bodhisattva is enlightened and purifies the pollution, but there seems to be a difference. Some schools of Mahayana seem to believe that the body of the Body of a Buddha has extraordinary ability and unique characteristics.

This body is explained in different ways. Sometimes it is a kind of "interface" between the dharmakaya and incarnation. When a Buddha manifests as a "special object" but is not "flesh and blood", it is called the body of the body. For example, the Buddhas reigning over pure land ( the Western Realm of Ultimate Bliss ) are Buddhas.

Sometimes bodhicitta is considered as a reward for the accumulation of merit. It is said that only those who are on the last stage of the Bodhisattva Path can feel the body of the Messenger.

What is the body?

The nature of the body or body (Sanskrit: Nirmanakaya) means "the body is created." This is the physical body born on earth, affected by  impermanence  as sentient beings.

One example is  the historical Buddha Shakyamuni , who was born and died more than 2500 years ago. However, some believe that the reincarnations also have transcendental qualities from the dharma body and the body of the body.

It is understood that Shakyamuni was originally enlightened in dharmakaya, but manifested in various forms of incarnation, not necessarily a "specific Buddha" to teach the truth.

However, this does not mean that some "supernatural beings" temporarily disguise themselves as ordinary creatures, but instead, any one of us can be physical or material embodiment. body of a Buddha.

Together, the three bodies of the Buddha are sometimes compared to the weather: the dharmakaya is the air, the body is the cloud and the body is the rain. But there are many ways to understand the Three Truths. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.25/6/2018.
