Akanishtha [Skt.] ([Tib.] Omin, Wyl. 'og min)

The highest heaven of the form realm. According to Mahayana, buddhas first reach full enlightenment in Akanishtha, and then manifest enlightenment through a nirmanakaya body in the human realm.
Akanishtha (Wyl. 'og min stug po bkod pa'i zhing), in Vajrayana, also refers to the pure sambhogakaya field from which emanate all pure nirmanakaya fields.
Akanishtha is also the name of Vairochana's buddhafield.
