The dharmakāya (, "truth body" or "reality body", , ) is one of the three bodies ("trikāya") of a buddha in Mahāyāna Buddhism. The "dharmakāya" constitutes the unmanifested, "inconceivable" ("acintya") aspect of a buddha out of which buddhas arise and to which they return after their dissolution. Buddhas are manifestations of the "dharmakāya" called the "nirmāṇakāya", "transformation body". Reginald Ray writes of it as "the body of reality itself, without specific, delimited form, wherein the Buddha is identified with the spiritually charged nature of everything that is."
