The Classical realistic school of causation is the theory of compound causation.Firstly,the existence of law is firmly rooted in the idea that "law can’t be born by itself"but must be conditioned.Meanwhile,law exists in a way that maintains its own self-nature,resulting in a variety of laws.Secondly,the relationship between law and law is not a one-way relationship,but a complex or pluralistic one.Sometimes it is caused by many factors or conditions,sometimes by one factor or one condition.Finally,does law produce actionable law or inaction?Some Western teachers in classical times think that there is a way to do something,while the Oriental teachers think that there is no compatibility between doing something and doing nothing.Six-cause theory,because of the development of these basic propositions,it has become The realistic school of Buddhism,and it is also an important thought created by The Classical realistic school Western teachers.Six Causes has become one of the main issues discussed in various works,and even one of the reasons why the editors of Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra.Up to now,there are still some deficiencies in the study of the ideological evolution of the theory of six causes and related issues,such as the theory of six causes and four causes,and the theory of six causes and five effects.The reason why there is no comprehensive exposition of the ideological evolution of Six causes ’s theory is that most scholars neglect the system of Abhidharma Hridaya Shastra of Western teachers,and even regard the system of Abhidharma Hridaya Shasira as the main book of Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra.In fact,the Six Causes Theory belongs to the important thought created by the classical Western teachers.Its purpose is to try to explain the origin of all things and all living beings in the world and the process of human cognition.The Six Causes Theory was first put forward in Abhidharma Hridaya Shastra,and then the Oriental Teacher’s Abhidharma Jnanaprasthana-satra said that Six Causes Theory was the cause of action and inaction,which became a major issue in the dispute between the two sides of the classical Eastern and Western Teachers.From then on,Abhidharma Hridaya Shastra and Abhidharma Jnanaprasthana-sastra are the real arenas for the debate between the two sides,Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra is only a comprehensive exposition at the end of a classical book.In order to adjust the theory of Six Causes and Four Margins of Buddha,the Western teachers first put forward the theory of Six Causes and Two Margins,and then the theory of Six Causes and Four Margins appeared in the Oriental Teacher’s Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra.It can be seen that the Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra coordinates the relationship between the six causes and the four edges,making the six causes and the four edges completely integrated,and proving that the six causes are also Buddhist sayings.In addition,six causes and five fruits are the general name of six causes and five fruits,not six causes and five fruits.In fact,there are three fruits at first and five fruits later.In classical times,both sides believed that six causes had four fruits,and the rest of the Relief fruit(Effect of complee freedom)did not fall within the scope of six causes.From the relationship among six factors,four factors and five fruits,it can be proved that the completion time of Abhidharma-hridaya-vyakhya is earlier than that of Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra,and the publication time of Abhidharma Hridaya Shastra is earlier than that of Abhidharma Mahavibhasa Sastra.
