Dharmakāya
The Dharmakāya (Sanskrit: धर्मकाय; Pali: धम्मकाय, lit. "truth body" or "reality body") is one of the three bodies (trikaya) of the Buddha in Mahayana Buddhism. Dharmakāya constitutes the unmanifested, "inconceivable" (acintya) aspect of a Buddha, out of which Buddhas arise and to which they return after their dissolution. Buddhas are manifestations of the dharmakāya called nirmanakaya ("transformation body"). Reginald Ray writes of it as "the body of reality itself, without specific, delimited form, wherein the Buddha is identified with the spiritually charged nature of everything that is."
The Dhammakaya Movement of Thailand and the Tathāgatagarbha sūtras of ancient Indian tradition view the Dharmakaya as the true Self of the Buddha, present within all beings.
Tibetan etymology
In Tibetan, the term chos sku glosses Dharmakāya; it is composed of chos "religion, dharma" and sku "body, form, image, bodily form, figure". Thondup & Talbott render it as the "ultimate body". In a key scholarly collaborative, Nyingma translation work published in 2005, furthermore notable as the first complete rendering of the Bardo Thodol into the English language from the Tibetan, this technical term was configured into English as "Buddha-body of Reality".

Waiting' On A Bullet
by: Drew WomackSometimes a second lasts forever
Feels like a pendulum is just hangin' there now
The last word you said floats like a feather
And all at once I realize I ain't got a prayer now
Get down to it
Spare me the rest
Never mind the small talk
I know what's coming next
You got me waitin' on a bullet
Just like a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
So I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
Is that what you call a fair warnin'
To wear you lipstick in a brighter shade now
When you put it on this morning
You loaded up that chamber with the choice you made
Get down to it
Say it's for the best
Tell me that you're sorry
And get it off your chest
You've got me waitin' on a bullet
Just like a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
Your lips are a smokin' gun
And they're movin' in slow motion
Get down to it
Say you're movin' on
Get up and start walkin'
Get up and get gone
Can't take this waitin' on a bullet
Just like a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
I'm just Waitin' on a bullet
I'm just a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
And my time's standin' still
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
