dharma-bodies of two dimensions　二種法身 Consists of dharma-body as suchness 法性法身 and dharma-body as compassionate means 方便法身. Tan-luan explains that these two aspects of dharma-body are different but not separate, they are one but not identical. Dharma-body as suchness transcends the capacity of the mind of ordinary beings to apprehend or articulate. Therefore, it manifests itself in the realm of form and name as dharma-body as compassionate means to liberate all sentient beings. Since this realm of form and name is phenomenal, dharma-body as compassionate means involves itself in a cause-and-effect process. That process is Dharmākara Bodhisattva’s establishment of the forty-eight vows and attainment of Buddhahood as Amida through their fulfillment. Hence Amida is described variously as the fulfillment of the countless requirements necessary for the enlightenment of all beings. See ‘twofold truth’.
