- Aggregates
- Elements
- Sense sources
- Dependent Origination
- The correct and the incorrect
- The faculties
- Time
- The truths

- Single, the cause and consumer,
- The agent and in control,
- The owner and permanent,
- Afflicted and then purified,
- Possessor of yoga, unfree and then freed
- These are ten views of self.
