In Buddhism
Chinese Buddhism
應化法身 [ying hua fa shen]—Responsive manifestation of the dharmakāya, or Absolute Buddha, in infinite forms.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
應化法身 [ying hua fa shen]—Manifested Dharma-body — [Term 術語 [shu yu]] The Buddha's Dharma-body 法身 [fa shen] that manifests countless bodies in response. In the upper scroll of the Bodhisattva-garland Sutra 菩薩瓔珞經 [pu sa ying luo jing], from the first bhumi (stage) to the Buddha-stage, there are two types of Dharma-bodies: the Dharma-nature body 法性身 [fa xing shen] and the Manifested Dharma-body. This refers to the Dharma-body of True Wisdom 實智 [shi zhi], which arises from true nature within the flowing stream of the Ultimate Truth 第一義諦 [di yi yi di]. "Dharma" (法 [fa]) is named as the essence itself, and "body" (身 [shen]) signifies collection. The wholesome roots of all sentient beings evoke this Dharma-body of True Wisdom; therefore, the Dharma-body can manifest countless Dharma-bodies in response. It is said that it can manifest inconceivable bodies, such as the bodies of all worlds and lands, the bodies of all sentient beings, the bodies of all Buddhas, and the bodies of all Bodhisattvas. Furthermore, in the lower scroll of the same sutra, there are two Dharma-bodies: one is the Dharma-body of Ultimate Fruition 果極法身 [guo ji fa shen], and the other is the Manifested Dharma-body. This Manifested Dharma-body is like a shadow following a form; since the fruition body is permanent, the Response Body 應身 [ying shen] is also permanent. This collectively refers to the Sambhogakāya for others' enjoyment 他受用報身 [ta shou yong bao shen], the Response Body, and the Transformation Body 化身 [hua shen] as the Dharma-body. See the entry for Dharma-body. 法身 [fa shen]
應化法身—【術語】法身之佛，應現無量之身也。菩薩瓔珞經上自初地至佛地各有二種之法身。法性身，應化法身是也。謂於第一義諦之法流水中，由實性生智，故為實智之法身。法名自體，集藏為身。一切眾生之善根，感此實智之法身，故法身能現應無量之法身。一切世界國土身，一切眾生身，一切佛身，一切菩薩身，皆悉能現不可思議身云。又同經下有二法身。一，果極法身。二，應化法身。其應化法身如影之隨形，以果身為常故，應身亦為常。是即他受用報身及應身，化身等總名為法身也。見法身條。(法身)
