向法次法（或言法次法向謂無為滅諦為所向有為道諦為能向道諦次滅故名次法依道諦而行亦言如說修行）。

向法次法 (some say fǎ-cì-fǎ-xiàng; it means that the unconditioned truth of cessation is that which is directed towards, and the conditioned truth of the path is that which directs towards it. Because the truth of the path comes next after cessation, it is called the 'consequent Dharma'. Practising in accordance with the truth of the path is also called 'practising as expounded'.)
