The six types of cause (Skt. ṣaḍhetu; Tib. རྒྱུ་དྲུག་; Wyl. rgyu drug) are the basis on which all conditioned things arise. They are:
- efficient cause (Skt. kāraṇahetu; Wyl. byed pa'i rgyu)
- coemergent cause (Skt. sahabhūhetu; Wyl. lhan cig 'byung ba'i rgyu)
- cause similar to its result (Skt. sabhāgahetu; Wyl. skal pa mnyam pa'i rgyu)
- concomitant cause (Skt. saṃprayuktahetu; Wyl. mtshungs par ldan pa'i rgyu)
- omnipresent cause (Skt. sarvatragahetu; Wyl. kun tu 'gro ba'i rgyu).
- ripening cause (Skt. vipākahetu; Wyl. rnam par smin pa'i rgyu)
