Sambhogakaya (Skt. saṃbhogakāya; Tib. longku; Wyl. longs sku) is defined as a 'form body' (rupakaya) of a buddha, which appears only to bodhisattvas and is the basis for the arising of the nirmanakaya. It is adorned with the major signs and minor marks.

Sogyal Rinpoche writes:

Sambhogakaya is the dimension of complete enjoyment, the field of total plenitude, beyond dualistic limitations and beyond space and time. (The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying, page 347)
