四、非有想非無想定。若捨二邊之想而入定者，名非有想非無想定。行者厭患無所有處想如癡、有想處如癰如瘡，更有定名非有想非無想處，即捨無所有處，緣念非有非無想之法，心與非有非無想法相應，是為非有想非無想處定。亦云：凡夫外道得此定，謂證涅槃，斷一切想，故言非有想。佛弟子如實知有細想，依四眾而住，故云非無想。得失合而立名，故云非有想非無想處定。略明三界十二門禪，極在於此也。

Fourth is the attainment of the base of neither-conceptualization-nor-non-conceptualization. If one abandons conceptualizations of the two extremes to enter meditative absorption, it is called the attainment of neither-conceptualization-nor-non-conceptualization. The practitioner reviles conceptualization in the base of nothingness as like dullness, and having conceptualization as like a boil or an ulcer; there being yet another meditative absorption named the base of neither-conceptualization-nor-non-conceptualization, they immediately abandon the base of nothingness, focusing mindfully on the phenomenon of neither conceptualization nor non-conceptualization. When the mind is associated with the phenomenon of neither conceptualization nor non-conceptualization, this is the attainment of the base of neither-conceptualization-nor-non-conceptualization. It is also said: ordinary persons and non-Buddhists who attain this meditative absorption claim that they have realized nirvāṇa and severed all conceptualization, which is why it is called 'neither-conceptualization'; disciples of the Buddha know in accordance with reality that subtle conceptualization remains, abiding in reliance upon the four aggregates [of mental factors], which is why it is called 'nor-non-conceptualization'. The name is established by combining the attainment and the shortcoming; hence it is called the attainment of the base of neither-conceptualization-nor-non-conceptualization. The brief explanation of the twelve gates of dhyāna of the three realms finds its culmination here.
