Foguang Dictionary of Buddhism (佛光大辭典) 　梵語artha。指因緣生之一切有為法，即宇宙間千差萬別之現象。與平等門之‘理’相對。僧肇之寶藏論（大四五·一四三下）：‘理合萬德，事出千巧；事雖無窮，理終一道。’﹝俱舍論卷二十五、華嚴五教止觀、摩訶止觀卷一上﹞（參閱‘事理’3043）

Ding Fubao - Dictionary for Buddhist Studies (丁福保:佛學大辭典) （術語）梵語曰迦他（迦為遏之誤Artha之音譯），見梵語雜名。事者對于理之稱。顯密異其義，顯教以離因緣之無為法為理，因緣生之有為法為事。密教解理為攝持之義，一切之事相，各各攝持其體，則是即理，舉其體為地水火風空識之六大，稱之為六大法界。但依台家性具之義，則十界三千之諸法，悉為性具，而非依于因緣始生，故是亦無為常住之真如法界也。

陳義孝佛學常見辭彙 凡是因緣所生之法都叫做事，離因緣造作之法則叫做理。
