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. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.268](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.268) - [Next: 1.270](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.270) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925~en-mt.1.269) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.269](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1925.1.269) · Pramāṇa
