Three buddhic vestures, three human vehicles: Seven vestures of consciousness.

The three bodies of a human being and the vestures or vehicles of the Lord Buddha. The whole story of Sublimation, of Purification, and of Transfiguration is hidden in this relationship. The correspondences remain, however, to be pointed out. It is a task that has not yet been done. DINA2 627.

Three monadic "vestures," worn by the one Monad. TCF 1193.

The Law of Vibration, the atomic law of the solar system. 1^st plane and atomic sub planes. Renounced on Path of Earth Service. Buddha chose the path of earth service against his karma. The group which functions midway between the Earth and Venus have all taken the eighth and ninth initiations.

Human etheric vesture = Etheric-Vehicle. The reflection of the third highest plane, the Atmic. Prithivatattva. 7^th plane. The gradations of violet through which man is able to utilize etheric matter, as he now utilizes physical plane matter. The Golden bowl.

7^{th plane} 1st Ether Atomic sub plane vibrations = approximate vibrational value of 72,900,000,000 per second. JPC.

Buddhism will be spreading and becoming increasingly dogmatic… the Buddha will send two trained disciples to reform Buddhism. EXT 573.

Much of the mystery connected with "the three vestures of the Buddha" is related to this glorification of the three bodies. Much can be learnt by a careful study of the connection between the three bodies of a human being and the vestures or vehicles of the Lord Buddha. The whole story of Sublimation, of Purification, and of Transfiguration is hidden in this relationship. The correspondences remain, however, to be pointed out. It is a task that has not yet been done. DINA2 627.

When the work of the Buddha (or of the embodied buddhic principle) is consummated in the aspiring disciple and in his integrated personality, then the full expression of the work of the Christ (the embodied principle of love) can also be consummated and both these potencies - light and love - will find radiant expression in the transfigured disciple. EXT 361.

The Three Vestures. - "The stream is crossed. Tis true thou hast a right to Dharmakaya vesture; but Sambhogakaya is greater than a Nirvani, and greater still is a Nirmanakaya - the Buddha of Compassion." - Voice of the Silence, p. 97.

"The three Buddhic bodies or forms are styled: Nirmanakaya, Sambhogakaya, Dharmakaya.

The first is that ethereal form which one would assume when leaving his physical he would appear in his astral body - having in addition all the knowledge of an Adept. The Bodhisattva develops it in himself as he proceeds on the path. Having reached the goal and refused its fruition, he remains on earth, as an Adept; and when he dies, instead of going into Nirvana, he remains in that glorious body he has woven for himself, invisible to uninitiated mankind, to watch over and protect it.

Sambhogakaya is the same, but with the additional luster of three perfections, one of which is entire obliteration of all earthly concerns.

The Dharmakaya body is that of complete Buddha, i.e, no body at all, but an ideal breath; consciousness merged in the universal consciousness, or soul devoid of every attribute. Once a Dharmakaya, an Adept or Buddha leaves behind every possible relation with, or thought for, this earth. Thus to be enabled to help humanity, an Adept who has won the right to Nirvana, 'renounces the Dharmakaya body' in mystic parlance; keeps, of the Sambhogakaya, only the great and complete knowledge, and remains in his Nirmanakaya. The esoteric school teaches that Gautama, Buddha with several of his Arhats, is such a Nirmanakaya, higher than whom, on account of his great renunciation and sacrifice for mankind, there is none known." - Voice of the Silence, p. 98. TCF 1194.

Esoteric teachings claim that he renounced Nirvana and gave up the Dharmakaya vesture to remain a "Buddha of compassion" AY Gloss.

Nor can it well be called force since the latter is but the attribute of Yin Sin (Yin Sin or the one "Form of existence" also Adi-Buddhi or Dharmakaya the mystic, universally diffused essence) when manifesting in the phenomenal world of senses namely only your old acquaintance Fohat. Mahatma Letters.

The seven-fold principles in man; The initiated Brahmin calls it (Yin Sin and Fohat) Brahman and Sakti when manifesting as that force. We will perhaps be nearer correct to call it infinite life and the source of all life visible and invisible, an essence inexhaustible ever present, in short Swabhavat. Ibid.

Nirmanakaya Those perfected beings who renounce Nirvana (the highest state of spiritual bliss) and choose a life of self-sacrifice, becoming members of that invisible host which ever protects humanity within karmic limits. IHS 222.

The Nirmanakaya Body of a great Buddha would be like unto a sun in brightness to the psychic sense of the observer… the Nirmanakaya Robe, the spiritual body, he was to assume at His ascension. TT3. Hilarion.

Here on the second plane, the sea of electrical fire, which distinguished the first plane, is transformed into the akasha, or burning etheric matter. It is the plane of the flaming Sun. TCF 312.

It is the Transfiguration; and a new glory pours through the transfigured initiate who has been released from every type of grip by either the personality or the Soul. AAB Letters. 23/10/43.          

The Buddha… He served the soul of man. EXT 299.

Buddhism spoke of the perfectment of the bodies. AY 275.

Spiritual perception or intuitive instinct signifies preparedness for the Transfiguration, the third initiation. DINA2 267.

At the third Initiation of Transfiguration, the control of the personality in the three worlds is broken in order that the Son of Mind, the soul, may be substituted finally for the concrete and hitherto directing lower mind. Again, through the Law of Sacrifice, the personality is liberated and becomes simply an agent of the soul. DINA2 398.

Transfiguration (achieved at the third initiation and increasingly present at each previous initiation) EA 618.
