Dharma (Buddhist teachings)

In Buddhism, Dharma refers to the teachings of the Buddha—principles that describe the nature of reality and the path to liberation from suffering. It encompasses the understanding of how things arise, change, and interconnect, emphasizing mindfulness, ethical conduct, and wisdom. Following the Dharma involves practicing compassion, meditation, and moral discipline to attain enlightenment. It is both the path and the truth, guiding individuals toward inner peace and the cessation of suffering by recognizing the impermanent and interconnected nature of all existence.
