The People
ALEX NOTE: Let's add an essay here for a general audience that introduces the story of buddha-nature from the perspective of the key people involved in the translating of texts, the teaching lineages, and the interlocutors in the major debates. This could be more than a few paragraphs for sure, but does not need to be exhaustive as we could then see about commissioning a longer essay on the topic, or see if we can get contributions from other writers who have already written on similar subjects.
nirmāṇakāya - An fully enlightened Buddha is said to have the power to manifest in many forms in order to help the sentient beings. The emanation body of a buddha, as the third of the three bodies of a buddha, refers to the many forms in which a buddha can manifest and which are accessible to ordinary sentient beings. Buddhist scholars present four types of emanation bodies: emanation as supreme being, emanation as rebirth, emanation as artisan and emanation in diverse forms.
