The Hua-yen has also ten divisions into ten schools of thought:

(1) 我法倶有 the reality of self (or soul) and things, e.g. mind and matter;

(2) 法有我無 the reality of things but not of soul;

(3) 法無去來 things have neither creation nor destruction;

(4) 現通假實 present things are both apparent and real;

(5) 俗妄真實 common or phenomenal ideas are wrong, fundamental reality is the only truth;

(6) things are merely names;

(7) all things are unreal 空;

(8) the bhūtatathatā is not unreal;

(9) phenomena and their perception are to be got rid of;

(10) the perfect, all-inclusive, and complete teaching of the One Vehicle.
