6.501

Regarding 'if deluded about impermanence, suffering, emptiness, and selflessness, one should settle one's mind upon skill in dependent origination and possibilities and impossibilities': dependent origination and possibilities and impossibilities correspond to and determine each other's meaning; that is, skillfully knowing that ignorance generates karmic formations, karmic formations generate consciousness, up to birth generating aging-and-death is called [skill] in dependent origination. Skillfully knowing that ignorance of the true meaning and wholesome actions can induce consciousness and so on, up to birth in human and heavenly realms as the branch of aging-and-death, is called a possibility; if inducing the branch of aging-and-death in miserable destinies, it is called an impossibility. Therefore, skill in dependent origination and possibilities and impossibilities corresponds to conditioned and tainted phenomena being suffering, empty, impermanent, and selfless.
