指 依條件生滅的理則與現象，如「當這個存在了，就會有那個（此有故彼有）；以這個的生起，那個就生起（此起故彼起）」是緣起的「流轉理則」，「當這個不存在 了，就沒有那個（此無故彼無）；以這個的滅，那個就滅了（此滅故彼滅）」是緣起的「還滅理則」。「以無明為條件而有行（緣無明行），以行為條件而有識（緣 行識），以識為條件而有名色（緣識名色），以名色為條件而有六入處（緣名色六入處），以六入處為條件而有觸（緣六入處觸），以觸為條件而有受（緣觸受）， 以受為條件而有愛（緣受愛），以愛為條件而有取（緣愛取），以取為條件而有有（緣取有），以有為條件而有生（緣有生），以生為條件而有老死（緣生老 死）。」是緣起的流轉現象，稱為「十二緣起、緣起十二支、十二支緣起、十二緣法、十二因緣」，如果將「無明」含在「觸」（即「無明觸」）中，將「行」含在 「愛」中，則稱為「緣起十支說、十支緣起」，如果只說明「愛、取、有、生、老死」，則稱為「緣起五支說、五支緣起」。「從無明的褪去無餘滅而行滅（無明滅 故行滅）；從行滅而識滅（行滅故識滅）……從生滅而老病死滅（生滅故老病死滅）。」是緣起的「還滅現象」。

Law of Dependent Origination  緣起法  It states that all phenomenon arise depending upon a number of casual factors. In other word, it exists in condition that the other exist; it has in condition that others have; it extinguishes in condition that others extinguish; it has not in condition that others have not. For existence, there are twelve links in the chain:  Ignorance is the condition for karmic activity; karmic activity is the condition for consciousness; consciousness is the condition for the name and form; name and form is the condition for the six sense organs; six sense organs are the condition for contact; contact is the condition for feeling; feeling is the condition for emotional love/craving; emotional love/craving is the condition for grasping; grasping is the condition for existing; existing is the condition for birth; birth is the condition for old age and death; old age and death is the condition for ignorance; and so on.
