phrase
the four conditions
Domain: Buddhism 佛教
Notes: Sanskrit equivalent: catvāra pratyayā, Tibetan: rkyen bzhi'i ming la; these are different in the Pali and Mahayana canons. The four conditions in Nāgārjuna’s Mūlamādhyamaka kārikā are: 1. 因緣 hetupratyaya 'primary cause' which is the actualizing factor, 2. 次第緣 samanantarapratyaya 'immediately antecedent condition' the extinction of which gives rise to the effect, 3. 緣緣 ālambanapratyaya ''observed object condition' that arises in the mind, and 4. 增上緣 adhipatipratyaya 'predominant condition' that drives the arising of the effect (BL 'pratyaya'; Ding '四緣'; FGDB '四緣'; Mahāvyutpatti 'catvāraḥ pratyayāḥ'; Siderits and Katsura 2013, p. 20; Sprung, Murti, and Vyas 1979, p. 65)
