【The Twelve Factors of Dependent-Arising】- One instance of causality” is unacceptable

Suppose it is to show one instance of causality, then to move from the former factors to the latter factors, this should be what life is.

【It would be incorrect to claim that the actualizing factors,craving and so on, occur after the establishment of the group of factors beginning with resultant period consciousness and ending with feeling [the projected factors].】

This is because if you say that this is one instance of causality, then it would mean the projection from "the projecting factors" to "the projected factors." The former projecting factors would constitute the cause that will produce the effect as the projected factors. So would this not be adequate already? It is adequate. So for the twelve factors, if you account it this way, then the former part has already done the projecting. What does the projecting? It is ignorance, compositional activity, and consciousness. These are the causes, the projecting factors. So what has been projected, the effect? The effect is the "name-and-form, the six sources, contact, and feeling." It should be adequate to have this. Why should there be craving and so on. Why do we need that? Wouldn't they be useless? Therefore it says, "it would be incorrect to claim that the actualizing factors, craving and so on, occur after..."

希求解脱 : 重因果不合理

假定初者是显一重因果的话，就是从前面到后面，那么这个人生就是这样。

【则已生起果位之识，乃至于受，后生爱等不应道理。】

因为你在这个上面所说的，这是一重因果，就是前面引，“能引”引到“所引”；前面是能引是因，然后感得所引之果，那不是就有了吗？有了，那十二支假定说就算这样的话，那么前面已经引了，说能引是什么？无明、行、识，这个是能引的因；然后呢所引的引起的果是什么？果是名色、六入、触、受。到了这个地方够了啊，后面为什么还有爱等，这要它干什么？这不是没有用了吗？所以说，“后生爱等是不应道理”。
