Because it lacks the clear, luminous, and superior perception of the lower levels, it receives the name "neither-perception"; because it possesses a faint and inferior perception, it is called "nor-non-perception." Therefore, with respect to the faintness and inferiority of perception in that sphere, the name is established according to its own nature, called "neither-perception-nor-non-perception." The former three formless \[spheres\] are established with respect to preparation; the fourth, neither-perception\[-nor-non-perception\], is established with respect to its own nature. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 28.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.16) - [Next: 28.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.18) - [Up: 28](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823~en-mt.28.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [俱舍論疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1822.28.82) — Classical Chinese - [俱舍論記](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1821.28.59) — Classical Chinese - [大方廣佛華嚴經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.36.13) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1823.28.17) · Pramāṇa
