二身 [er shen]—The 'Two Bodies' — [Nomenclature] There are six types: the two bodies of the True Body (真身 [zhen shen]) and the Response Body (應身 [ying shen]); the two bodies of the Permanent Body (常身 [chang shen]) and the Impermanent Body (無常身 [wu chang shen]); the two bodies of the Born Body (生身 [sheng shen]) and the Dharma Body (法身 [fa shen]); the two bodies of the Real Material Body (實色身 [shi se shen]) and the Transformed Material Body (化色身 [hua se shen]); the two bodies of the True Body and the Transformation Body (化身 [hua shen]); and the two bodies of the Reality Body (實相身 [shi xiang shen]) and the Body for Beings (為物身 [wei wu shen]). See the appendix (附錄 [fu lu]) to the 'Two Bodies' entry in the Two-Character Section (二字部 [er zi bu]). There are five types of 'Two Dharma Bodies.' See the appendix to the 'Dharma Body' entry. (Dharma Body) [Nomenclature] 1. The Sectional Body (分段身 [fen duan shen]), which is the body of sectional life-and-death (分段生死 [fen duan sheng si]). 2. The Transformative Body (變易身 [bian yi shen]), which is the body of transformative life-and-death (變易生死 [bian yi sheng si]). Refer to the 'Nature-Ground' entry (參照 [can zhao] 性地 [xing de]). (Nature-Ground (性地 [xing de])) These are the two bodies of the Buddha (佛 [fu]). Although the classifications of the Buddha Body (佛身 [fu shen]) in sutras (經論 [jing lun]) and treatises have many aspects (開合 [kai he]), the common understanding is based on the two approaches of the Two Bodies and the Three Bodies (三身 [san shen]). There are quite a number of theories concerning the Two Bodies.

二法身有五種。見法身條附錄。(法身)
【名數】一、分段身，分段生死之身也。二、變易身，變易生死之身也。參照性地條。(性地)
佛之二身也，佛身之開合，經論之說雖有多端，但以二身三身兩門為通會。二身之說頗多。
