Sambhogakaya
Sambhogakaya (devanāgarī: सम्भोगकाय saṃbhogakāya) is a Sanskrit word meaning "body of enjoyment." In Mahayana Buddhism it is one of the three bodies (Trikayas) of the Buddha, through which Buddhas and advanced bodhisattvas can manifest themselves in a pure buddha realm.
In Theosophy
In The Theosophical Glossary Mme. Blavatsky wrote:
Dharmakâya (Sk). Lit., “the glorified spiritual body” called the “Vesture of Bliss”. The third, or highest of the Trikâya (Three Bodies), the attribute developed by every “Buddha”, i.e., every initiate who has crossed or reached the end of what is called the “fourth Path” (in esotericism the sixth “portal” prior to his entry on the seventh). The highest of the Trikâya, it is the fourth of the Buddhakchêtra, or Buddhic planes of consciousness, represented figuratively in Buddhist asceticism as a robe or vesture of luminous Spirituality.
In popular Northern Buddhism these vestures or robes are:
(1) Nirmanakâya (2) Sambhogakâya (3) and Dharmakâya the last being the highest and most sublimated of all, as it places the ascetic on the threshold of Nirvâna.[1]
