* Three bodies: The three bodies of the Buddha. Namely, the Dharma body, the reward body and the manifested body. The Dharma body is the fundamental truth, or law, to which a Buddha is enlightened. The reward body is the wisdom to perceive the Law. And the manifested body is the compassionate actions the Buddha carries out to lead people to happiness.
