大乘法苑義林章 1.36

1.36

Tenth, concerning conditioned arising as general or particular: since it is accepted that one consciousness can induce six consciousnesses to arise immediately without interval, it is also accepted that many consciousnesses can induce one consciousness to arise immediately without interval. Therefore, multiple initial-contact [minds] can induce the arising of a seeking mind in a single consciousness, and so forth at length. That one defiling-or-purifying mind induces the arising of equal-outflowing minds in multiple consciousnesses is a settled point, because it is accepted that a single consciousness and a single mind can obtain minds induced by multiple consciousnesses arising in a single moment. By parity of reasoning from this meaning, the various consciousnesses can possess all five minds in a single moment; objects may be new or old, and the induction and arising of consciousnesses differ. This principle is subtle; the wise should contemplate it.
