Dhamma:
In Buddhism, Dhamma (Pali) or Dharma (Sanskrit) means "to uphold" and refers to the truth about reality and the teachings of the Buddha. It is one of the Three Refuges (or Three Jewels) of Buddhism, alongside the Buddha and the Sangha (the community).
Core Meanings of Dhamma
• The Truth / Universal Law: It describes how the natural world works, the fundamental order of existence, and how things truly are.
• The Buddha’s Teachings: It represents the doctrines and principles the Buddha discovered and shared to help people end suffering (dukkha) and reach enlightenment. Key components include:
• The Four Noble Truths
• The Noble Eightfold Path
• The Three Marks of Existence (impermanence, suffering, and non-self)
• Phenomena / Mental Qualities: In deep Buddhist philosophy, lowercase dhamma (or dharma) means any elemental phenomenon, event, or building block of experience (such as thoughts, emotions, or physical sensations).
