法身體性

(法身體性, 法身体性)

The embodiment, totality, or nature of the (sa) dharmakāya. In Hīnayāna the Buddha-nature in its [lang id =1028]理 or absolute side is described as not discussed, being synonymous with the [lang id =1028]五分 five divisions of the commandments, meditation, wisdom, release, and doctrine, [lang id =1028]戒, [lang id =1028]定, [lang id =1028]慧, [lang id =1028]解脫, and [lang id =1028]知見. In the Mahāyāna the [lang id =1028]三論宗 defines the absolute or ultimate reality as the formless which contains all forms, the essence of being, the noumenon of the other two manifestations of the (sa) triratna. The [lang id =1028]法相宗 defines it as (a) the nature or essence of the whole (sa) triratna; (b) the particular form of the Dharma in that trinity. The One-Vehicle schools represented by the [lang id =1028]華嚴宗, [lang id =1028]天台, etc., consider it to be the (sa) bhūtatathatā, [lang id =1028]理 and [lang id =1028]智 being one and undivided. The Shingon sect takes the six elements-earth, water, fire, air, space, mind-as the [lang id =1028]理 or fundamental (sa) dharmakāya and the sixth, mind, intelligence, or knowledge, as the [lang id =1028]智 Wisdom (sa) dharmakāya.
