注大乘入楞伽經 2.192

2.192

The Buddha states that there are four causes and conditions by which the eye-consciousness arises in succession: First, not awakening to the fact that external dusts are the manifestations of one's own mind, and consequently grasping at them; second, the unceasing perfuming of false conceptualizations that have attached to form from beginningless time; third, the original nature of consciousness being like this, since consciousness has discernment as its own-nature; fourth, desiring and wishing to see the forms of various colours.
