成唯識論演祕 6.51

6.51

The explanation says: Like seeking the absorption of cessation, one gives rise to anāsrava wisdom; non-conception is not like this, so it says 'no wisdom'. Because the absorption of cessation is above non-conception, it is called 'above this there is a superior peaceful abiding'. Above, there are four abodes of the formless realm where one can be born, which is called 'birth'; alternatively, the five pure abodes are places of birth for noble ones, which is called 'birth'. Just as the arhat must rely on the absorption of cessation to realize [nirvāṇa] without remainder, non-conception is not so, hence it says 'cannot attain superior wholesome phenomena'. Alternatively, in the preparatory stage prior to entering cessation, one enters various sāsrava absorptions of the form and formless realms, which is called 'attaining wholesome phenomena'; non-conception is not so. Due to these many reasons, the noble ones do not enter it.
