The eighth and highest level of the Realm of Form (rūpadhātu, {gzugs khams}), and thus part of the world of the Brahmā gods (brahmaloka, {gtsang ris}); it is only accessible as the result of specific states of dhyāna.

In other texts it is the realm of the enjoyment body (saṃbhogakāya, {longs spyod rdzogs pa'i sku}) and is a buddhafield associated with the Buddha Vairocana; it is accessible only to bodhisattvas on the tenth level.
