Nirmāṇakāya

Nirmāṇakāya or Nirmanakaya also known as the Emanation body (Chinese: 應身; pinyin: yīngshēn; Tibetan: སྤྲུལ་སྐུ་, tulku, Wylie: sprul sku) is the third aspect of the trikāya and the physical manifestation of a Buddha in time and space. An example of a Nirmanakaya would be Siddhartha Gautama, the historical Buddha who lived in India 2,500 years ago. In Vajrayāna Buddhism, the nirmanakaya is described as "the dimension of ceaseless manifestation".
