Vimalā-bhūmi

vimalā-bhūmi (T. dri ma med pa དྲི་མ་མེད་པ་; C. ligou di) is translated as the "stainless ground," "immaculate ground," etc. It is the second of the ten bodhisattva grounds (bhumis) according to the presentation in the Dasabhumika-sutra of the Sanskrit Mahayana tradition.

Patrul Rinpoche states:

At the lesser of the three lesser levels of the path of meditation, the pāramitā of discipline is perfected. All the obscurations associated with flaws in discipline are purified.

Similar qualities to those mentioned previously (when discussing the path of seeing) are gained, so that bodhisattvas can enter into and arise from one thousand samādhi meditations in a single instant, and so on. The difference is that here there are twelve sets of one thousand qualities.

They can take birth as a ruler over the four continents.

This second bhūmi is called ‘Immaculate’, because it is free from the stains of faulty discipline.
