dharmameghā

In Mahayana Buddhism, dharmameghā is the tenth and final stage of spiritual progress for a bodhisattva. A bodhisattva is someone who has the potential for enlightenment but chooses to delay their own buddhahood to help all sentient beings achieve salvation. The stages, also known as vihāras or "stations," represent a progressive journey toward enlightenment. The Dashabhūmika Sūtra outlines these stages, with dharmameghā signifying a state of being "showered with clouds of dharma," or universal truth. This stage represents the culmination of the bodhisattva's spiritual development and their profound understanding and embodiment of Buddhist teachings.123
