Cause-Condition and Creating Destiny

(1)	‘Cause and Condition’
	─	Cause (Sanskrit: hetu 因) is the reason. For example, a seed is a direct cause (of a plant).
	─	Condition (Sanskrit: paccaya 緣) is the supporting factor. Water, soil, air, sunshine, etc. are auxiliary causes (of a plant).
	─	The aggregation/union of cause and condition (remark: Causes are the basis upon which things arise; conditions are the requirements for their arising. When the causes and conditions meet. That is, when the basis and the requirements come together, then things come into being.) results in the growth of a plant. The arising condition(s) of all phenomena/all myriad things (Form Phenomenon and Mind Phenomenon) is/are also based on this (union of cause and condition).
(2)	‘The arising condition(s) of Form Phenomenon and Mind Phenomenon'
	1.	Form Phenomenon: The arising of things is dependent upon “Cause and Condition’ and ‘Contributory Factor as Condition’.
	2.	Mind Phenomenon: The formation of thoughts requires the fulfilment of four conditions, that is Cause and Condition (Sanskrit: hetu-pratyaya因緣, means direct cause), Contributory Factor as Condition (Sanskrit: adhipati-pratyaya增上緣, conditions that will prevail in the future), Continuous Sequence of Sameness Condition (Sanskrit: samanantara-pratyaya等無間緣, conditions that are similar to those immediately connected with the past), Condition for the Casual Support of Consciousness /Object as a Cause (Sanskrit: alambana-pratyaya所緣緣, conditions that are objectively present before one. It means that since the object present in the preceding moment becomes the cause of the mental activity for functioning)
(3)	‘Brief Explanation of Cause and Condition’
	1.	Cause and Condition: Seed and Present Formation, Present Formation and Seed, interwoven and interconnected, being the mutual conditions of Cause and Effect.
	2.	Contributory Factor and Condition: The condition that strengthens the arising (existence) of things.
	3.	Continuous Sequence of Sameness Condition: The condition of thought formation, preceding thought generates afterthought; thoughts that go on unceasingly.
	4.	Condition for the Casual Support of Consciousness: Mind as the Capability Condition (the subjective condition) is Imagined Component (remark: the ability to comprehend the object). Realm as the Object Condition (the objective condition) is Image Component (remark: the object that one cognize). They constitute the dependent conditions.
(4)	‘Cause-Condition and Creating Destiny’
	─	The cosmic view of Hinayana relies on the origin of one's deed, and emphasizes the retribution of karma.
	─	The cosmic view of Mahayana relies on the origin of the truth, and considers that within every seed, there is Buddha Nature, which is ‘The Truth’. As such, there is the possibility of creating a new destiny. To create destiny, one must grasp the principle of Cause and Condition. Cultivators must always self-review the causes on boundaries of moral behaviour. If the Cause is right, it will naturally be blessed with the Contributory Factory as Condition from Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Hence, Cause is dominant and Condition is subordinate. For creating destiny, one must also try to increase the good karma of the Truth and to completely exterminate all hindering bad karma.
(5)	‘The Four Initiation Practice and Creating Destiny’
	1.	4-Refuge: Devoutly take refuge in the Vajra Guru and the Three Jewels of the Buddha, the Dharma and the Sangha, with both body and mind stationed towards the Right Dharma in order to beseech for the detachment of pain and obstacles from Samsara.
	2.	Prostrations: Eliminate the growth of self-arrogance or ego that battles Buddhas and deceives deities and also create the embracing gratitude of the 5-body-joint touching ground style towards Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, then there will naturally be no obstacles in one’s cultivation.
	3.	Mandala-Offering: Reliant upon offerings to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, to accumulate merits and blessed virtues, thus reducing obstacles in cultivation.
	4.	100-Syllable Mantra Practice: Repent with a sincere heart; supplicate for the blessing of various Buddhas and Bodhisattvas and for the protective support of Dharma Protectors.
