As for the prior period: ignorance is defilement and formations are karma, which are the two causal links; the five links from consciousness onward produced by them are the fruition links: this is one layer of cause and effect. The two present links of craving and grasping are defilements and becoming is karma, which are the three causes of the future; birth and old age and death produced by them in the future are the fruition links: this is one layer of cause and effect. Thus, the twelve links of existence are two layers of cause and effect. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1645.2.7) - [Next: 2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1645.2.9) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1645.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1645~en-mt.2.8) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1645.2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1645.2.8) · Pramāṇa
