  Quick Overview of the Faxiang School 法相宗
In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Faxiang enjoyed a revival among Chinese philosophers such as Yang Wenhui (1837-1911), Ouyang Jingwu (1871-1943), Taixu (1890-1947), and Xiong Shili (1883-1968), who sought a bridge between native philosophy and Western philosophy, especially in the field of epistemology.
Faxiang (Korean: Pŏpsang; Japanese: Hossō) was influential in Korea during the Unified Silla (668-935) and Koryŏ dynasties (935-1392), but faded with the decline of Buddhism in the Chosŏn dynasty (1392-1910).
The two doctrines that drew the most attacks were the Faxiang rejection of tathāgatagarbha ideology for being too metaphysically substantialistic and the Faxiang doctrine of five seed-families (Sanskrit, pañcagotras; Chinese, wu xing 五姓), which held that one's potential for awakening was determined by the good seeds already in one's consciousness stream.

Representing a two-hundred-year development within the Vijnanavadin tradition subsequent to the Lankavatara Sutra (Sutra on the Buddha's Entering the Country of Lanka) and being the primary text of the Faxiang School, the Vijnaptimatratasiddhi-sastra is an exhaustive study of the alaya-vijnana and the sevenfold development of the manas, manovijnana, and the five sensorial consciousnesses.
Faxiang is the Chinese translation of the Sanskrit term dharmalaksana (characteristic of dharma), referring to the school's basal emphasis on the unique characteristics of the dharmas that make up the world, which appears in human ideation.
Alaya-consciousness is posited as the receptacle of the imprint of thoughts and deeds, thus it is the dwelling of sundry karmic seeds.

 Three Gorges Dam - The Great Wall Across the Yangtze
About 140 corruption cases relating to the project, which involve billions of yuan and implicate hundreds of officials, have been uncovered since the project was launched six years ago.
"Some 473 million yuan in resettlement funds was embezzled, misappropriated or illegally used in 1998 alone," Xinhua said, adding that "those punished included Huang Faxiang, a land management official in Fengdu county, near Chongqing in Sichuan, who was executed early this year for the embezzlement of 15.56 million yuan".
Officials claimed about 430 million yuan of the funds misappropriated in 1998 had been recovered, adding that the money still missing would hopefully be replaced by authorities using public funds by the end of this month.

Being a first and foremost idealistic school of Mahayana Buddhism, the Faxiang School categorically discerns chimerical phenomena manifested in consistent patterns of regularity and continuity; in order to justify this order in which only defiled elements could prevail before enlightenment is attained, it created the tenet of the alaya-vijnana.
In addition, the philosophy of this school, with its abstruse terminology and hairsplitting analysis of the mind and the senses, was too alien to be accepted by the practical-minded Chinese.

 Dharma character school
Dharma-character school (Chinese: Faxiang zong) is the pejorative name for a stream of thought that represented the Indian Yogācāra (瑜伽行派) system of thought in East Asia.
Although the Faxiang zong/Beopsang chong/Hossō shū tradition would all but die out as an independent sect, its Consciousness-only teachings made a major impact on the native East Asian traditions that would later develop, most notably Tiantai, Huayan and Chan Buddhism.
The term Faxiang itself was first applied to this tradition by the Huayan thinker Fazang (寶藏), who used it to emphasize the inferiority of Faxiang teachings, which only dealt with the phenomenal appearances of the dharmas in contrast to Huayan, which dealt with the underlying nature on which such phenomenal appearances were based.

The force of his own study, translation and commentary of the texts of these traditions initiated the development of the Faxiang school (法相宗) in East Asia.
Although the school itself did not thrive for a long time, its theories regarding perception, consciousnesses, karma, rebirth, etc. found their way into the doctrines of other more successful schools.
Xuanzang's closest and most eminent student was Kuiji (窺基) who became recognized as the first patriarch of the Faxiang school.

 The Yogācāra Two Hindrances and Their Reinterpretations in East Asia
In contrast to the Faxiang model of the five natures, which was created for the purpose of making clear distinctions between practitioners in terms of their predetermined soteric capacities, the SPE's "natures of practitioners" are fluid levels on the path of religious awareness that are attainable by anyone.
Having at length arrived at a modicum of understanding of the difficulties involved here based on my own analysis of these texts, I became curious as to whether any classical scholars had attempted to grapple with the complex relationship among these three models of the hindrances.
In Faxiang, these were five predispositions that practitioners were believed to possess in terms of their potential for attainment of liberation.

 Dharmapala Summary
It was Xuanzang who introduced Dharmapāla's thought to China, where, under the name of Faxiang ("dharma characteristics"), it supplanted the traditions transmitted by Paramārtha (499–569) and Bodhiruci (d.
The Faxiang "school" was introduced to Japan beginning in the late seventh century by the monk Dōshō (629–710), enjoyed three subsequent transmissions, and, as the Hossō school (the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese Faxiang), became perhaps the most eminent of the six scholastic traditions that flouished during the Nara period (710–784).
Although Faxiang thought failed to survive the challenges posed by the creation of the new, more fully sinicized, Buddhist traditions of the Tang period (618–907), its doctrines were kept alive in the wide dissemination of the commentaries to the Cheng wei shi lun.

"In my opinion, the critical program of the Faxiang School does not consist in their justification of the mind-only doctrine, or in their exposition of the eight-fold topology of consciousness, or in their account of the three categories of being.
These themes are the common property of both Shelun and Faxiang schools.
What distinguishes F. thought is its theory of legible form (akara) of an object of consciousness.
