3 are simply different aspects of forms
Tibetan Buddhist Encyclopedia is now 14 years old
Our Encyclopedia recently received a wonderful opportunity for a major renewal on its 14th birthday . After many years of growing our Encyclopedia had become bit slow and sometimes even decided not to answer when people knocked on the door.
A very big thank you and blessings to Dmytro Rudiy (rudiy.nl) for his great work in upgrading the server, website and all of the infrastructure and helping make TBE fast and reliable again for everyone!
We kindly ask our readers to help us cover the cost of this important upgrade and also help with the ongoing costs of keeping the Encyclopedia alive and freely available.

These 3 are simply different aspects of forms. Each kaya has 3 different facets. For example, the
dharmakaya of dharmakaya is Buddha Samantabhadra; the
sambhogakaya of dharmakaya is Vajradhara; the
nirmanakayas of dharmakaya are the 5 lords of the buddha-families.
So, Amitabha, as head of the Lotus family, is classified here as nirmanakaya. The
dharmakaya of sambhogakaya is Vajradhara; the
sambhogakaya of sambhogakaya is Vairochana Gangchentso; the
nirmanakaya of sambhogakaya is Sakyamuni Buddha. The dharmakaya of nirmanakaya is Amitabha; the
sambhogakaya of nirmanakaya is Chenrezig; the
nirmanakaya of nirmanakaya is Guru Rinpoche.
So, here, Amitabha is the dharmakaya.
