If we put emphasis on the truth itself, rather than its spiritual or physical being, that is Dharmakaya Buddha. Although he is the embodiment of the truth, without practice he cannot attain enlightenment and he cannot express the truth. Only when he actually practices the truth, the truth will be realized. Realization of the truth will take place in this sense. Then we call him Sambhogakaya Buddha. —Excerpt from Shunryu Suzuki lecture - 68-01-11B - as found on shunryusuzuki.com edited by PF.
