Transition with the same start / end in the UML state diagram

I am new to UML, revising the FSM diagram, how to present two transitions that lead to the same state, for example, I am in state1:

when(event1)-->action1-->state2
when(event2)-->action2-->state2

I mean, do I need to draw two lines from state1 to state2?

Yes, you have to draw two lines, since the event and the action are part of the line.

as you can see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:UML_state_machine_Fig1.png

your string will receive text of type "event1 / action1"and "event2 / action2".

If you do not generate code in a diagram, you can also use one line and add text, for example "event1 / action1 OR event2 / action2", if it is more readable.
