【The Twelve Factors of Dependent-Arising】- Qualm about two instances of causality II

It is the former "projecting factors," ignorance, compositional activity consciousness, that project the "projected factors," name-and-form, the six sources, contact and feeling. This is the first instance of causality. Then for craving, grasping and existence, these are the "actualizing factors" that actualize birth, aging and death, the "actualized factors." So there would be two cycles, isn't that right? But for these two cycles, suppose you now say these represent two instances of causality. If that is the case, the latter cycle moves from craving, grasping and existence to the effects of birth, aging and death but lacks the projecting factors of ignorance and compositional activities. This will not work. Conversely, the former cycle has the projecting factors of ignorance, compositional activity and consciousness, but lacks the actualizing factors of craving and grasping. These are missing. So this will not work either. This is why he raises this question, why it is brought up.

希求解脱 : 二重因果的问难II

前面就是无明、行、识这个“能引”，引出名色、六入、触、受“所引”，这是第一重因果；然后呢爱、取、有，这个是“能生”，生起这个生、老死“所生”，不是两重因果，是吧？这两重因果，假定你现在讲两重因果的话，那么后面这个因果当中，从爱、取、有到这个果位上的生、老死，却没有能引的无明、行，这个不行；反过来，前面这个能引当中，无明、行、识却没有能生的爱、取，这个又缺乏了，这个又不行。所以他提出这问题，提出来。
