2.286

Question: Above, in explaining arising and ceasing, the fault was concluded to belong to avidyā; here, in explaining causes and conditions, why is the conclusion attributed to the mind? Answer: Previously, because avidyā moved that tranquil mind to make it arise and cease, the agency of this arising and ceasing lay with avidyā. Now, according to the principle of the harmonious combination of causes and conditions, by which all phenomena are accomplished, the meaning of self-naturelessness is made manifest and the meaning of non-abiding is revealed; therefore, with respect to the harmonious combination, it is concluded to belong to the mind.
