Causal condition support: the contemplating mind and so forth have their own seeds as their causal condition support; because the manifest relies on the seeds, it is also called the seed support. 2. Co-existent support: the locations of the six faculties can serve as support for the various minds and mental factors; now the contemplating sixth takes the seventh and eighth consciousnesses as its support, and is also called the dominant condition support. 3. Opening and guiding support: the minds and mental factors of the preceding thought open the way and guide the minds and mental factors of the succeeding thought; taking the preceding mind-king is called the opening and guiding support, because the succeeding thought must arise relying on the preceding thought; thus the present mind viewed against the succeeding thought is provisionally named the preceding thought, and is also called the immediately preceding condition support. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 36.23](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.36.23) - [Next: 36.25](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.36.25) - [Up: 36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.36) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.36.24) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.36.24](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.36.24) · Pramāṇa
