Although the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas have transcended the relative truth, no longer have the flesh-and-blood body, but in order to liberate us, they will still manifest a body of flesh and blood. There is no way for the Buddha Amitabha of the Sukhavati Pureland to liberate us, neither does the manifestation of Buddha Samantabhadra in the sphere of the pure phenomenon. The Sambhogakaya and the Dharmakaya of the Buddhas are sublime, however, they are not able to liberate us as well. This is because they are not able to communicate with us and thus, a teacher in a relative sense is very important.
