"The mental state of that old Tathagata is quite elevated," Sun Wukong said with regret.
"He is the Incarnation Buddha among the Three Body Buddhas, also known as the Incarnated Buddha, and the original Enlightened One. Naturally, his mental state is not low," Karma Tathagata replied as if stating the obvious, without any regret.
The so-called Three Body Buddhas are the Dharma Body Buddha, the Reincarnation Buddha, and the Incarnation Buddha.
The Dharma Body Buddha is Great Sun Tathagata, representing the truth of the Buddhist Law. The Reincarnation Buddha is Lushena Buddha, representing the Buddha Fruit, enjoying the Buddha Country's Pure Land. Lastly, the Incarnation Buddha is Shakyamuni Tathagata, representing the teaching by adapting to circumstances, the Buddha body that manifests to enlighten the multitude of beings, essentially a divided Incarnated Buddha.
