body of true reality, body for the sake of beings　実相身・為物身 The two phases of Amida Buddha presented by Tan-luan in Commentary on the Treatise on the Pure Land. This notion is inseparable from that of ‘dharma-body as suchness’ or dharma-nature, and ‘dharma-body as compassionate means’ for the sake of saving Beings. These are the two aspects of the ultimate reality. Tan-luan’s idea of this notion must have been developed from the notion of the phrase ‘one-dharma’ in the Treatise: “These three kinds of fulfillment are the adornments produced by the Vow-mind. Reflect on this.” This is so because, stated in brief, the adornments enter into the phrase ‘one-dharma’. Such a way of grasping Amida Buddha corresponds to the analysis of Amida Buddha from the viewpoint of the two phases: ‘dharma-body as suchness’ and ‘dharma-body as compassionate means’. Succeeding this basic analysis of Amida Buddha, Shinran states: “From this oneness was manifested form, called dharma-body as compassionate means. Taking this form, the Buddha announced the name Bhikṣu Dharmākara and established the Forty-eight great Vows . . . .” See ‘dharma-bodies of two dimensions’ and ‘twofold truth’.
