楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 2.33

2.33

Both internal and external causes and conditions possess the connotations of direct and indirect: direct production is the cause, and indirect assistance is the condition. "External conditions" should include the word "causes." The lump of clay is the cause, while the pillar, wheel, etc., are the conditions, combining into a jar; the jar is the dharma that is produced. Since the causal conditions of a clay jar are such, by analogy the other four—thread and cloth, etc.—are also like this. "Giving rise through successive transformation" means that the preceding cause and subsequent conditions give rise to things through mutual progression.
