There are three kinds of rainbow body: the rainbow body so called (ja I us), the radiant body ('od sku), and the rainbow body of great transfer-ence (ja Ins 'pho ba chen po). The first is attained through the practice of Trekcho.

After about a week, if left undisturbed, the body will disappear completely, leaving behind only hair and finger- and toenails. Yogis have demonstrated this attainment well into modern times, indeed the present day. The Radiant Body is accomplished through a Dzogchen practice called thogal, and at death the body is transformed directly into light, leaving behind no remainder whatever. In the case of the rainbow body of great transference (ja Itis \pho ba chen po), the accomplished practitioner trans-forms his physical body into an indestructible form composed of rainbow light and continues to live for centuries, remaining visible for as much this is of benefit for sentient beings.
