The treatise says: in the three wretched realms, suffering presses upon them, and consciousness finds no joy or security; hence they are not stations of consciousness. In the form realm, why is the fourth dhyāna not mentioned? The treatise says: therein is the retribution of non-conception, which impairs mental consciousness. Furthermore, within the fourth dhyāna are the five pure abodes, where they delight in seeking nirvāṇa, destroying mental consciousness, not wishing to abide long; hence it is not a station of consciousness. In the formless realm, why is the heaven of neither-conception\[-nor-non-conception\] not mentioned? The treatise says: therein is the concentration of cessation, which also destroys mental consciousness, so consciousness finds no joy or security; hence it is not a station of consciousness. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.63) - [Next: 3.65](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.65) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776~en-mt.3.64) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1776.3.64) · Pramāṇa
