 | | From there you can go up through the bhumis, starting with the lowest level of practice of the second stage of realization, that of freedom from projection; this would be the second bodhisattva bhumi. |
 | | The First Bhumi, Joyous, corresponds to the Path of Seeing and all the rest cover the Path of Meditation, except for the final one, the Tenth Bhumi called Dharma Clouds which is the stage of No-More-Meditation. |
