大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 64.41

64.41

On the commentary passage "Nāgārjuna says causes and conditions are of two kinds" and so forth: second, citing proof to briefly unfold them. That is, the text of the Dvādaśamukha-śāstra says: "Namely, taking water, earth, human labor, seasons, and grain seeds as causes and conditions, sprouts are able to grow. Taking milk, yeast, warmth, and human labor as conditions, curd is able to form. Through conditions such as lumps of clay, the wheel, string, and the potter, vessels are able to be accomplished. These are all external causes and conditions."
