Yogācārabhūmi-śāstra, Volume Ten (The Twelve Links of Dependent Origination)

(Twenty-two) Original text: 问。若受为缘。皆是爱耶。设是爱者。皆受为缘耶。答。应作四句。或有是爱。非受为缘。谓希求胜解脱。及依善爱。而舍余爱。或受为缘。而非是爱。谓除无明触。所生受为缘。所余有支法生。或有受为缘亦是爱。谓无明触所生受为缘。染污爱生。除如是相是第四句。 

Explanation: If some dharmas arise with feeling as their condition, are they all craving? If they are all craving, do they all have feeling as their condition? Answer: This question should be divided into four alternatives: First, there is craving that does not arise with feeling as its condition, such as the aspiration for superior liberation, and the abandoning of other cravings by relying on the love of wholesome dharmas;

Second, there are dharmas that arise with feeling as their condition, yet these dharmas are not subsumed under craving, such as, apart from dharmas arising with feeling born of contact accompanied by ignorance as their condition, the arising of the remaining links of existence; for example, feeling born of contact accompanied by ignorance, and feeling born of unconditioned contact—dharmas arising with such feeling as their condition are not dharmas subsumed under craving; Third, there are dharmas that arise with feeling as their condition and are also a component of craving, such as the defiled craving that arises with feeling born of contact accompanied by ignorance as its condition; apart from the dharmas described above, all belong to the fourth alternative. 

Original text: 问。若爱为缘。皆是取耶。设是取者。皆爱为缘耶。答。当知此中。是顺后句。谓所有取。皆爱为缘。或爱为缘。而非是取。谓除取所余有支。及缘善爱勤精进等。诸善法生。 

Explanation: Question: If some dharmas arise with craving as their condition, do these dharmas all belong to the link of grasping? If these dharmas are all grasping, do they all arise with craving as their condition? Answer: This question follows the latter sentence; the answer accords with the latter sentence (设是取者。皆爱为缘耶。). That is to say, all grasping arises only with craving as its condition; or dharmas that arise with craving as their condition are not all grasping—there are also the remaining links of existence apart from grasping, as well as diligent effort and other such wholesome dharmas that arise conditioned upon the love of wholesome dharmas. 

All grasping arises with craving as its condition, but dharmas that arise with craving as their condition are not all grasping; there are also dharmas other than grasping that arise with craving as their condition, such as the links of existence, birth, aging-and-death, and so forth. If there is no craving, and craving has been completely eliminated, these links will no longer arise; they all cease. Craving is the direct condition for grasping, and the indirect condition for the other links—all of them arise because of craving.
