Question
Vajrayana teachings sometimes reference a fourth or fifth type of these things, including one associated with svabhāva, or essence. For 10 points each:
[10m] Name these things which, according to a Mahāyāna doctrine, respectively manifest in three levels of reality: Dharma, saṃbhōga or bliss, and nirmāṇa in the physical world.
ANSWER: bodies of the Buddha [or kāyas of the Buddha; accept trikāya]
[10h] The ultimate body or Dharmakāya expresses the ineffable reality often referred to by this tricky term. This term is at the root of various words translated as “Buddha-nature” and appears as a set of ten aspects in Tiāntái thought.
ANSWER: tathātā [or thusness, suchness, or zhēnrú; accept the ten suchnesses, shí rúshì, or jūnyoze; accept tathāgatagarbha; accept Tathagata]
[10e] The Saṃbhogakāya, historically an addition to the Dharmakāya and Nirmāṇakāya, refers to the body that dwells in this kind of place. Those who seek to be reborn into one of these places sometimes repeat the name of Amitābha.
ANSWER: pure lands [or buddha-fields, buddha-lands, buddhakṣetra, or jìngtǔ]
