Lokaviśuddhi (लोकविशुद्धि) refers to the “purity of the world”, according to the Gaganagañjaparipṛcchā: the eighth chapter of the Mahāsaṃnipāta (a collection of Mahāyāna Buddhist Sūtras).—Accordingly: “Ratnaśrī said: ‘Son of good family, what is the purity of the world (lokaviśuddhi)?’ Gaganagañja said: “Since the form is originally pure, it is deathless. Since the form in the future will be pure, it is without coming. Since the form in the present is pure, it is established in the true state. In the same way, since the feeling, perception, formative factors and consciousness are originally pure, those are deathless. Since the consciousness in the future will be pure, it is without coming. Since the consciousness in the present is pure, it is established in the true state. Son of good family, this is the purity of the world (lokaviśuddhi)’”.
