Answer: All four conditions are complete. The sixth mind-king and the real mental factors are all born from seeds; this is the causal condition. The provisional nimittabhāga is the cognitive condition acting as a condition. That the preceding thought induces the succeeding thought is the immediately preceding condition. The dominant condition has two: first, conforming; second, opposing. The conforming dominant condition has two: 1. Strong conforming: when engaging in this contemplation, the various conditions are strong and accord with the contemplator; this is called strong dominance. When engaging in this contemplation, one does not obstruct other dharmas; although powerless, being able not to oppose others, it is called powerless dominance. 2. The opposing dominant condition also has two: 1. Contradicting: when engaging in this contemplation, one can contradict distracted mind and mental factors, and can also contradict the indeterminate nature and so forth; 2. Damaging: because when engaging in this contemplation, one can damage the various defiled dharmas.
