1.112

初緣起相由故者，謂大法界中緣起法海義門無量，約就圓宗略舉十門以釋前義，謂諸緣起法要具此十義方緣起故，闕即不成。一諸緣各異義，謂大緣起中諸緣相望，要須體用各別不相和雜，方成緣起。若不爾者，諸緣雜亂失本緣法，緣起不成。此即諸緣各各守自一也。

Regarding the first, that dependent origination is mutually conditioned: in the great dharmadhātu, the ocean of dharmas of dependent origination has immeasurable aspects of meaning. In terms of the complete school, I shall briefly raise ten gates to explain the preceding meaning; that is, the dharmas of dependent origination must possess these ten meanings before there can be dependent origination, and if any are lacking, it cannot be established. First is the meaning that the various conditions are each distinct: in the great dependent origination, when the various conditions are viewed against one another, their substances and functions must each be distinct and not mixed together for dependent origination to be established. If it were not so, the various conditions would be chaotic and lose their fundamental nature as conditions, and dependent origination would not be established. This is each of the various conditions preserving its own oneness.
