These 3 are simply different aspects of forms. Each kaya has 3 different facets. For example, the
dharmakaya of dharmakaya is Buddha Samantabhadra; the
sambhogakaya of dharmakaya is Vajradhara; the
nirmanakayas of dharmakaya are the 5 lords of the buddha-families.
So, Amitabha, as head of the Lotus family, is classified here as nirmanakaya. The
dharmakaya of sambhogakaya is Vajradhara; the
sambhogakaya of sambhogakaya is Vairochana Gangchentso; the
nirmanakaya of sambhogakaya is Sakyamuni Buddha. The dharmakaya of nirmanakaya is Amitabha; the
sambhogakaya of nirmanakaya is Chenrezig; the
nirmanakaya of nirmanakaya is Guru Rinpoche.
So, here, Amitabha is the dharmakaya.
