注大乘入楞伽經 7.227

7.227

此言無明與愛業者，於十二有支因緣中，略舉其三也。若具言之，即無明緣行，行緣識，識緣名色，名色緣六入，六入緣觸，觸緣受，受緣愛，愛緣取，取緣有，有緣生，生緣老、死、憂、悲、苦、惱，此明三世妄因果法。謂過去有二支因：一無明、二行。現在有五支果：一識、二名色、三六入、四觸、五受。現在有三支因：一愛、二取、三有。未來有二支果：一生、二老死。言一切眾生無始已來，皆為無明十二因緣長劫鉤鎖，往來三界牢獄之中，無有出離。智者了悟修道斷除，即得解脫，故云無明滅則行滅，乃至生滅即老死滅，當知滅妄因緣故須修道。

This reference to ignorance, craving, and karma briefly raises three among the twelve links of dependent origination. If stated in full: ignorance conditions formative action; formative action conditions consciousness; consciousness conditions name-and-form; name-and-form conditions the six sense bases; the six sense bases condition contact; contact conditions feeling; feeling conditions craving; craving conditions grasping; grasping conditions becoming; becoming conditions birth; birth conditions aging, death, sorrow, lamentation, pain, and despair. This clarifies the deluded causal and resultant dharmas of the three periods of time. That is, the past has two links of cause: first, ignorance; second, formative action. The present has five links of result: first, consciousness; second, name-and-form; third, the six sense bases; fourth, contact; fifth, feeling. The present has three links of cause: first, craving; second, grasping; third, becoming. The future has two links of result: first, birth; second, aging and death. It means that all sentient beings, since beginningless time, have all been locked into the long kalpas by the twelve links of dependent origination stemming from ignorance, shuttling back and forth within the prison of the three realms with no way of escape. When the wise awaken and cultivate the path to cut them off, they attain liberation; hence it is said: with the cessation of ignorance, formative action ceases, up to with the cessation of birth, aging and death cease. One should know that in order to extinguish false causes and conditions, one must cultivate the path.
