tantric Buddha types

Because tantric Buddhism is not a multiplication, but a good power (not including the false continuation of later generations), there are only three kinds of buddhas in tantric Buddhism, namely, dharma body, body report and body response. They are equivalent to dharma Buddha, karma Buddha and transformation Buddha in Hua Yan's Ten Buddhas.

Hua Yan Jing says that there are ten kinds of Buddha bodies. The Shurangama Sutra explains (Great Line) that the Buddha's fifty-two-step childlike innocence also mentioned the ten Buddha bodies when he lived: "Ten bodies are spiritual, and they are sufficient at one time." The Buddha's body is a dharma body, and each body expresses different methods, so we should ask how many bodies the Buddha has, and the Buddha has infinite bodies. The ten bodies of Hua Yan Jing are a generalization of boundless bodies.

they are: enlightenment Buddha, wish Buddha, karma Buddha, abbot Buddha, transformation Buddha, dharma Buddha (nirvana Buddha), mind Buddha, samadhi Buddha, nature Buddha and wishful Buddha. The enlightenment Buddha is the Buddha body that Sakyamuni's teacher publicly presents. ?
