四、觀門。分別推析之心名為觀。行者雖因止證諸禪定，而解慧未發。若住定心，則有無明味著之乖，故須推尋檢析所證禪定，是中多用實觀四念處也。若觀心分明，則知五眾虛誑，破四顛倒及我等十六知見。顛倒既無，無漏方便因此開發，故以觀為門。

Fourth is the gate of contemplation. The mind that discriminates and investigates is called 'contemplation'. Although the practitioner realizes various meditative absorptions through stopping, understanding and discernment have not yet arisen. If one abides in the mind of meditative absorption, there is the error of ignorance and relish-attachment; therefore, one must scrutinize, examine, and analyze the meditative absorptions realized, and herein one mostly utilizes the real contemplation of the four bases of mindfulness. If the contemplating mind is distinct and clear, one knows that the five aggregates are deceptive and unreal, shattering the four inversions and the sixteen views and notions such as a self. Once the inversions are gone, the untainted skillful means will unfold because of this; therefore, contemplation is taken as a gate.
