四非有為非無為法界二門者：一形奪門，謂緣無不理之緣，故非有為；理無不緣之理，故非無為，法體平等，形奪雙泯。《大品》三十九中，須菩提白佛言：「是法平等，為是有為？為是無為？」佛言：「非有為法，非無為法。何以故？離有為法，無為法不可得；離無為法，有為法不可得。須菩提！是有為性、無為性，是二法不合不散。」此之謂也。二無寄門，謂此法界離相離性，故非此二。又非二諦故，又非二名言所能至故，是故俱非。《解深密》第一云「一切法者，略有二種，所謂有為、無為。是中有為，非有為、非無為。無為，非無為、非有為」等。

> Fourth, the two gates for the neither conditioned nor unconditioned dharmadhātu: 1. the gate of mutual negation through juxtaposition: meaning that conditions are never conditions devoid of noumenon, hence it is not conditioned; noumenon is never noumenon devoid of conditions, hence it is not unconditioned. The substance of dharmas being equal, juxtaposition completely extinguishes both. In chapter 39 of the \*Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā\*, Subhūti said to the Buddha: 'Is this equality of dharmas conditioned or is it unconditioned?' The Buddha said: 'It is not a conditioned dharma, nor is it an unconditioned dharma. Why is that? Apart from conditioned dharmas, unconditioned dharmas cannot be obtained; apart from unconditioned dharmas, conditioned dharmas cannot be obtained. Subhūti, this nature of the conditioned and nature of the unconditioned—these two dharmas neither combine nor disperse.' This is what it means. 2. The gate of having no resting place: meaning that this dharmadhātu is free from marks and free from nature, and therefore is not these two. Furthermore, because it is not the two truths, and because it is not what can be reached by the two designations, it is therefore neither. Fascicle 1 of the \*Saṃdhinirmocana\* states: 'All dharmas are briefly of two kinds, namely, conditioned and unconditioned. Therein, what is conditioned is neither conditioned nor unconditioned. What is unconditioned is neither unconditioned nor conditioned,' etc.
