The Jewel Ornament of Liberation, transl Herbet Guenther, pp.264-5 (Rider & Co, London, 1970In one medieval Tibetan text, The Dharmakaya may be said to have eight characteristics: Sameness, Depth, Everlastingness, Oneness, Harmony, Purity, Radiance, and Enjoyment.
Sameness, because the Dharmakayas of all Buddhas are not different.
Depth, because it is ineffable.
Everlastingness, because it has no beginning or end.
Oneness, because the Dharmadhatu (Absolute Reality) and Transcendent Awareness (are not different.
Harmony, because it is beyond positive and negative poles
Purity, because it is free from the three taints of hatred, greed, and delusion.
Possessing enjoyment, because with its wealth of qualities it is the basis of all enjoyment.
