3.154

第四、次料揀非事非理修，發禪不定，亦有四種不同：一、自有行人安心息二邊分別非事非理止，還發非事非理禪，謂自性禪等及中道所攝一切諸禪三昧不共之法；二、自有行人安心非事非理止，而但發事中禪定，謂根本禪、八背捨等一切事中諸禪三昧；三、自有行人安心非事非理止，而但發理中禪定，謂空、無相等一切理中諸禪三昧；四、自有行人安心非事非理止，而具發事理禪定，謂根本禪、背捨及空、無相等一切事理諸禪三昧。廣分別諸禪相及料揀修發之義，類如初句中說。

Fourth, next to distinguish that when cultivating neither phenomena nor principle, the manifestation of dhyāna is indeterminate; there are likewise four different kinds. First, there are practitioners who settle their minds on the cessation of neither phenomena nor principle by putting an end to discrimination between the two extremes, and in return manifest dhyānas that are neither phenomenal nor principle, namely, the uncommon dharmas of all the dhyānas and samādhis subsumed by the Middle Way, such as the dhyāna of self-nature. Second, there are practitioners who settle their minds on the cessation of neither phenomena nor principle, yet manifest only dhyāna absorptions within phenomena, namely, all the dhyānas and samādhis within phenomena, such as the fundamental dhyānas and the eight liberations. Third, there are practitioners who settle their minds on the cessation of neither phenomena nor principle, yet manifest only dhyāna absorptions within principle, namely, all the dhyānas and samādhis within principle, such as emptiness and signlessness. Fourth, there are practitioners who settle their minds on the cessation of neither phenomena nor principle, yet fully manifest dhyāna absorptions of both phenomena and principle, namely, all the dhyānas and samādhis of both phenomena and principle, such as the fundamental dhyānas, the liberations, emptiness, and signlessness. The extensive distinction of the characteristics of the various dhyānas and the analysis of the meaning of cultivation and manifestation are analogous to what was said under the first alternative.
