-'''Dharmakāya''' (devanāgarī: धर्म काय) is a [[Sanskrit]] word meaning "truth body" or "reality body". In Mahayana Buddhism it is one of the three bodies (Trikayas) of the [[Buddha]]. Dharmakaya constitutes the unmanifested, "inconceivable" aspect of a Buddha, out of which Buddhas arise and to which they return after their dissolution.
