第五成相者，由此諸緣舍義成故，由成舍故，椽等名緣，若不爾者二俱不成。今現得成，故知成相互成之耳。問：「現見椽等諸緣各住自法，本不作舍，何因得有舍義成耶？」答：「秖由椽等諸緣不作故，舍義得成。所以然者？若椽作舍去，即失本椽法故，舍義不得成。今由不作故，椽等諸緣現前故，由此現前故舍義得成矣。又若不作舍，椽等不名多緣，今既得緣名，明知定作舍。」問：「若不成者，何過失耶？」答：「有斷常過，何者？舍本依椽等諸緣成，今既並不作，不得有舍，故是斷也；本以緣成舍名為椽，今既不作舍，故無椽，是斷；若不成者，舍無因有，故是常也；又椽不作舍得椽名者、亦是常也。」

Fifth, the integrating characteristic: because through these conditions the meaning of the house is accomplished. Because of the accomplishment of the house, rafters and the like are called conditions; if it were not so, neither of the two would be established. Now, as they are presently established, one knows that the integrating characteristic mutually accomplishes them. Question: "We presently see that the conditions such as rafters each abide in their own phenomena and originally do not make the house; by what cause is the meaning of the house accomplished?" Answer: "Precisely because the conditions such as the rafters do not act, the meaning of the house can be accomplished. Why is this? If the rafter were to act to become the house, it would forfeit its original nature as a rafter, and so the meaning of the house could not be accomplished. Now, because it does not act, the various conditions such as rafters are present before us; because of this presence, the meaning of the house can be accomplished. Furthermore, if they did not make the house, the rafters and the like would not be called multiple conditions; now, since they have obtained the name of conditions, we clearly know that they definitely make the house." Question: "If it is not integrated, what flaw would there be?" Answer: "There would be the flaws of annihilationism and eternalism. Why? The house is originally established relying on conditions such as the rafters; now, since they do not act at all, there can be no house—hence this is annihilationism. Originally, through the conditions establishing the house, it is called a rafter; now, since it does not make the house, there is no rafter—this is annihilationism. If it is not integrated and the house exists without a cause, this is eternalism. Furthermore, if a rafter does not make the house yet obtains the name of a rafter, this is also eternalism."
