The '''Vehicle of Characteristics''' (Skt. ''lakṣaṇayāna''; [[Wyl.]] ''rgyu mtshan nyid theg pa''), or '''Causal Vehicle''' (Skt. ''hetuyāna''; Wyl. ''rgyu'i theg pa''), refers to the '''[[Sutrayana]]''' and thus includes the [[shravaka yana]], the [[pratyekabuddha yana]] and the [[Mahayana]]. It is called a vehicle of characteristics because it has all the ''characteristics'' of a path that is a direct cause for bringing about the ultimate fruition, the level of [[buddhahood]].<ref>[http://www.lotsawahouse.org/tibetan-masters/alak-zenkar/nine-yanas A Brief Presentation of the Nine Yanas by Alak Zenkar Rinpoche]</ref>

[[Longchenpa]] says:
:The causal vehicles are so called because of accepting a sequence of cause and effect, asserting that buddhahood is attained by increasing the qualities of the [[buddha nature]] which is merely present as a seed, through the circumstance of the [[two accumulations]].<ref>[[Padmasambhava]] & [[Jamgön Kongtrul]], ''The Light of Wisdom Vol. One'', translated by Erik Pema Kunsang (Boudhanath: Rangjung Yeshe Publications, 1999), pages 152.</ref>
