	'''Dhyāni-Buddha''' is a [[Sanskrit]] compound term from ''dhyāni'' ("contemplative, one who meditates") and Buddha (an "awakened one" or "the enlightened one"), which could be translated as "Buddha of Contemplation". In [[~~Vajrayana Buddhism]], there are five Dhyani-Buddhas, namely Akṣobhya, Amitābha, Amoghasiddhi, Ratnasaṃbhava, and Vairocana.~~		#REDIRECT [[Dhyani-Buddha]]

	~~The five~~ Dhyani-~~Buddhas are based on the [[Yogācāra]] teachings concerning the [[Trikaya]] ([[Sanskrit]] ''Tri'': "three", and ''kaya'': "body") doctrine, which posits three "bodies" of the~~ Buddha~~. The Dhyani-Buddhas are all aspects of the ''[[dharmakaya~~]]~~'' or "truth-body", which embodies the principle of enlightenment.~~
