I realize that phenomena are the dharmakaya.
You, my friend, should realize this too.

We do not change through the four times.
Self-awareness as the Dharmakāya
Is clear to itself.
For an analogy,
There is the heart of the sun.
We do not separate from our clarity.
It befriends us and is present.
Awareness as the Dharmakāya is like that.

The sudden arising of the movement of thoughts like a flash is itself the dharmakaya. If there were no thoughts, the dharmakaya could not exist. Why is it so? Because if one knows the very essence of thought, the wisdom that is clear and beyond thoughts arises.

Okay look, there's the Ultimate Truth, okay? The dharmakaya.
Thing is, we can't access it, our dualistic minds can't actually comprehend it or ponder it in a direct way
What we need is a "samboghakaya", a thing which serves as the interface between the dharmakaya and the mundane nirmanakaya

Our minds are, themselves, unborn.
For the children of the Victorious Ones
This is the Dharmakāya.
The Dharmakāya is self-evident,
And is indivisible.
Its forms appear to us as many things.
We are liberated into a place where we do not give them up.

This naked present awareness.
When delusion's dualistic perceptions are exhausted,
You reach the royal city of naturally liberated dharmakaya.

The "Supreme Enjoyer and the Enjoyed" model of Sahajayana and Vaishnavism translates into Buddhist lingo as:
The Enjoyer - Dharmakaya
The Enjoyment - Sambhogakaya
The Enjoyed - Nirmanakaya
The yogic crux of which is to directly experience Dharmakaya in whatever way seems best.

Keep it immaculate, vividly clear, and naked!
Leave it evenly, free from thinking and beyond the conceptual mind!

Rest within this great primordial wisdom,

Realizing samsara and nirvana to be the dharmakaya
is utterly delightful.

Stop to consider that bhakti to the samboghakaya - in this instance, the indulgence in patriotic symbolism, seeking an authentically American semiotics of justice - is, for many people, *the* way that they reach the dharmakaya, the Ultimate Truth that you allege to understand

The dharmakāya lies beyond the limits of existence and of nonexistence.
This alone is buddhahood, exceeding every measurement.
The dharmakāya is beyond the dualistic clinging to “it is” and “it is not.”
Beyond fixated thought, awareness self-cognizing is great bliss.

There are a number of leftists who are mad about this.
For the sake of argument, let's say that you are all very wise, you grasp the dharmakaya directly. You are a saffron-robed monk who can recite the entire Abhidharmapitaka backwards and forwards, chapter and verse.

Thoughts are delusion; stop following after them.
Hope and fear are obstacles; don't go to greet them.
If you can rest within the nature that is beyond intellect and activity,
You will definitely discover the dharmakaya in your own heart.
