Acalā-Bhūmi – Eighth Bodhisattva Ground or Level (Bhūmi)

“acalā-bhūmi (Skt.). The eighth of the Bodhisattva Levels (*bhūmi), ‘the Unshakeable One’, according to the *Daśabhūmíka Sūtra. Here the Bodhisattva engages in the Perfection of Aspiration (praṇidhāna) through which he aspires to attain what remains to be accomplished. This stage (or sometimes the preceding one) is characterized as ‘avaivartika’ (Skt., no turning back) since once a Bodhisattva reaches this stage he cannot backslide in his progress and his attainment of perfect enlightenment (*saṃbodhi) is guaranteed. See also PĀRAMITĀ.” (PDoB)

Abhimukhī-Bhūmi – Sixth Bodhisattva Ground or Level (Bhūmi)

“abhimukhī-bhūmi (Skt.). The sixth of the Bodhisattva Levels (bhūmi). According to the Daśabhūmika Sūtra it means ‘the level which is present or turned towards’, and is so-called because at this level the Bodhisattva has gained an understanding of the emptiness (śūnyatā) and sameness of all phenomena through the cultivation of the Perfection of Insight (prajñā-pāramitā), and has resolutely turned towards enlightenment (bodhi). See also PĀRAMITĀ.” (PDoB)
