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