The Nirmanakaya is the form body represented by the historical Gautama Buddha. The Sambhogakaya is the realm of Buddhas, realized Bodhisattvas, and yidam deities. The Dharmakaya is the ultimate Buddha Mind, measureless and beyond grasping.
This traditional idealized presentation may seem remote and distant. We might ask, “But what does this have to do with me? And in particular, what does the realm of Sambhogakaya have to do with my experience as an ordinary human being?” Answering these questions is the aim of our talk.
