The cause of future existence is: after the cause is produced, internal and external dharmas arise. The cause of continuity is: after grasping objective conditions is produced, internal and external dharmas produce the seeds of the aggregates and so forth. The cause of characteristics is: producing the characteristic of uninterruptedness, which arises continuously. The efficient cause is: performing predominant actions, like a wheel-turning king. The revealing cause is: after falsely imagined affairs have arisen, their characteristics manifest what acts and what is acted upon, like a lamp illuminating forms and the like. The dependent cause is: when ceasing occurs, it produces the cessation of continuity, and an unfalsely imagined nature arises." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.35](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.35) - [Next: 2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.37) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.2.36) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [大乘入楞伽經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-siksananda.2.78) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.3.12) — Classical Tibetan - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.3.7) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.36) · Pramāṇa
