enjoyment body (hōshin報身)

S. sambhogakāya. One of the "three bodies" (sanshin 三身, S. trikāya) of Buddha. The enjoyment body, also called the "response body" (ōshin應身), is superhuman (albeit anthropomorphic) in form and appears to highly advanced bodhisattvas as a "reward" for their spiritual attainments.  "dharma body," "transformation body."
