Regarding Buddha,
Buddha always possesses three kinds
of bodies. This is the definition;
No matter which Buddha we look at,
whether born in the past, present, or
future, they all possess three kinds of
bodies.
This means that although the Buddha’s
body is actually one, Buddha possesses
the body of three different functions
simultaneously.
The three kinds of bodies are as follows:
One is “The Body of Buddha-nature“
The second is “The body of Wisdom“
The third is “The body of the Action acting
Mercy”
First, “Buddha-nature” of “The Body of
Buddha-nature” refers to the Buddha-nature
that resides in all phenomenal worlds.
Buddha-nature literally means the
“Nature of Buddha.”
Buddha-nature is written in Chinese
characters as 仏性 (Butsu-shō).
“Butsu” of Buddha-nature is Buddha,
and “shō” is nature. Together they form
“Buddha-nature.”
For instance, all phenomena in the
phenomenal world possess
“The nature of Buddha,” Buddha-nature.
For example, the people around you,
their minds, the desk and chair in front of
you, your homes, families, companies,
individuals, society, countries, the international
community, the natural world, life, the Earth,
the sun, the solar system, the galaxy, and
all other living existence and matter all possess
the nature of Buddha, that is Buddha nature.
Buddha lives with Buddha-nature as his own
Main Body.
This means that Buddha lives with his own body
and Buddha-nature as one. This is the first point
mentioned above, “The body of Buddha-nature.”
So, what happens when you make your own body
and Buddha-nature to be one?
First, by merging with Buddha-nature, you will be
able to use the power of Buddha-nature as your
own power.
And you will be happy with that power.
You will become healthy.
Also, you can gain a vastly broader state of mind.
Also, you can lead people to happiness.
