p.
" The"concentration of cessation." An extremely deep sam$adhi where the activities of the mind are completely extinguished. In Abhidharmako$xa theory, it is one of the fourteen elements not concomitant with mind, and in Consciousness-only theory, it is one of the twenty-four elements not concomitant with mind. When this concentration is practiced, the mano-consciousness is also extinguished. Then the practitioner can be reborn into the Highest Heaven. Since this concentration has the power to extinguish mental functions in the mano consciousness, it is said to be the concentration practiced by sages. Since low-level practitioners and non-Buddhists are afraid to extinguish their egos, they do not enter this concentration of complete extinction. It is also called the 'concentration of extinguishing feeling and perception.' The seeds of 'disgusted mind' are established on the basis of this concentration."

- NPabbuddhistBUDDH: state of neither perception nor non-perception, meditative state where there are no objects anymore, but still also no non-presence of objects. In the formless realm (wúsèjiè 無色界) this is the highest state and thus the highest form of existence in the three realms. However, a very subtle kind of thought is remaining and therefore this state is not identical with nirvāṇa; also referred to as the fourth heaven in the formless realm (see also 非想非非想處); skr. naiva-saṃj%nā-nāsaṃjnā-āyatana; PALI neva-sa%n%nā-nāsa%n%nā-āyatana
