Yogācārabhūmi Śāstra, Volume Ten (Twelve Links of Dependent Origination)

(Twenty-six) Original text: 如无明缘行道理。如是爱缘取。取缘有道理。当知亦尔。如行缘识道理。如是有缘生。当知亦尔。如识缘名色道理。生缘老死。当知亦尔。 

Explanation: Just as with the principle of ignorance conditioning volitional formations, so too should you know the principles of craving conditioning grasping, and grasping conditioning existence. Just as with the principle of volitional formations conditioning consciousness, so too is existence conditioning birth; just as with the principle of consciousness conditioning name-and-form, so too is birth conditioning aging-and-death. 

By the same principle, you should contemplate in this way the following links: when what kind of name-and-form does not exist, there is no six sense bases; when what kind of name-and-form ceases, the six sense bases cease. When what kind of six sense bases does not exist, there is no contact; when what kind of six sense bases ceases, contact ceases. When what kind of contact does not exist, there is no feeling; when what kind of contact ceases, feeling ceases. When what kind of craving does not exist, there is no grasping; when what kind of craving ceases, grasping ceases. When what kind of grasping does not exist, there is no existence; when what kind of grasping ceases, existence ceases. When what kind of existence does not exist, there is no birth; when what kind of existence ceases, birth ceases. When what kind of birth does not exist, there is no aging-and-death; when what kind of birth ceases, aging-and-death ceases. All these questions must be contemplated one by one in detail through contemplative practice (vipaśyanā-caryā) within meditative concentration (samādhi). 

Original text: 问。何等受不有。故爱不有。何等受灭。故爱灭耶。答。如行缘识道理。当知亦尔。 

Explanation: Question: When what kind of feeling does not exist, craving does not exist? When what kind of feeling ceases, craving ceases? Answer: It is just like the principle of volitional formations conditioning consciousness. Because the three kinds of feeling are operating, and once the operation is complete they cease; if there is no antidote applied to feeling, feeling will continue to operate without end. Because feeling exists, craving arises in accordance with it. If feeling ceases and no longer experiences any dharmas, craving for dharmas will no longer arise; if all feeling ceases, all craving ceases.
