Nirmanakaya—The Form Body

The Form Body or Emanation Body of a Buddha is related to the quality of mind’s unimpeded manifestation. Just as light is the spontaneous expression of the sun, so is the Nirmanakaya the spontaneous expression of Enlightenment in physical form. It is the material world of everyday life, and yet it is far from mundane. The Form Body or “Body of Transformation” appears in the world as enlightened teachers, including the historical Buddha, and also as material objects of the Buddhas’ compassion, such as medicine, food, works of art, or even whole planets. The Nirmanakaya is the compassionate appearance of physical reality.
