that which is the enjoyment body but not the emanation body; that which is both the emanation body and the enjoyment body; and that which is neither the emanation body nor the enjoyment body.

“What is it that is the emanation body but not the enjoyment body? After a tathāgata has passed into nirvāṇa, because of having attained the power of prayer, there is benefit in accordance with conditions,¹⁶⁷ and that is an emanation body.

“What is it that is the enjoyment body and not the emanation body? It is a body that is seen on the bhūmis.

“What is both the emanation body and the enjoyment body? That is the body in the nirvāṇa with a residue.

“What is neither the emanation body nor the enjoyment body? That is the Dharma body.¹⁶⁸

“Noble one, the Dharma body is revealed nonduality. What is nonduality?¹⁶⁹ In the Dharma body, there are neither characteristics nor the basis for characteristics, and so there is neither existence nor nonexistence; the Dharma body is neither single nor diverse; it is neither a number nor numberless; and it is neither light nor darkness.

“That wisdom of the true nature sees neither characteristics nor a basis for characteristics; it does not see existence or nonexistence; it does not see singularity or differences; it does not see number or absence of number; and it does not see light or darkness.

“Therefore, the pure field of experience and pure wisdom cannot be examined,¹⁷⁰ and though there is nothing to call ‘conduct’ in this,¹⁷¹ it is the basis for cessation and the path. Therefore, one should know that the various deeds of a tathāgata appear within this Dharma body.¹⁷²
