Part 2c.6 - How the dharani-clouds of wisdom arise

How by becoming familiar with this seeing which has been attained, the dharani-clouds of wisdom[1] arise.

As for the above first attainment of the wisdom of the noble ones:

By letting this grow, grow ever greater and greater still,
The samadhi of realization has countless qualities.
Dharmata is the same whether concepts are there or not.
Dharani clouds bring great increase of spotless wisdom.
In meditation and non-meditation that are not two.
Always different emanations of meditation
Completely beyond the compass of thought will be displayed.
We enter limitless buddha realms and visions of wisdom.

Becoming familiar with what has been seen is the path of meditation. By lesser, middle, and greater attainments, the previously explained countless virtues of each of the bhumis are attained. By emanations, we benefit sentient beings. From the first to the seventh bhumis, conceptions in post meditation separate meditation and post-meditation. With the manifestation of the three pure bhumis, we no longer have these conceptions. Meditation and post-meditation are mixed, because they have the single taste of wisdom. The Uttaratantra says:

The mind that always acts and accomplishes
Blazes like fire….

There and so forth it has previously been explained.
