Dharmameghā-bhūmi

dharmameghā-bhūmi (T. chos kyi sprin ཆོས་ཀྱི་སྤྲིན་; C. fayun di) is translated as the "cloud of dharma ground," etc. It is the tenth of the ten bodhisattva grounds (bhumis) according to the presentation in the Dasabhumika-sutra of the Sanskrit Mahayana tradition.

Patrul Rinpoche states:

At this stage, the perfection of exalted wisdom (jñāna-pāramitā) is mastered. Bodhisattvas at this stage are freed from the conceptual obscurations (jñeyā-varaṇa).

They gain qualities, such as being able to enter into and arise from, in a single instant, as many samādhis as there are inconceivable atoms in inconceivable buddhafields. Just as before, they possess the twelve sets of qualities, ending with the perfect retinue, which at this stage means being surrounded by as many attendants as there atoms in inconceivable buddhafields.

These bodhisattvas can take birth as the ruler of the gods of a pure realm. They serve as the regent of a buddha and bring benefit to others on a vast scale.

This tenth bhūmi is called ‘Cloud of Dharma’, because bodhisattvas who have reached this stage cause rain-like Dharma to fall from the clouds of their dhāraṇī and meditation, upon the fields of beings to be trained.
