	The Dhamma
		Etymologically, the word Dhamma (Sanskrit: Dharma) is derived from the root "dham," meaning "to uphold" or "to support," and the commentary further explains that it is that which upholds or supports the practitioner (of Dhamma) and prevents him or her from falling into evil states or birth in a woeful existence.
		According to this, Dhamma means (a) the state of nature as it is, (b) the laws of nature, (c) the duties that must be performed in accordance with the laws of nature, and (d) the results that are derived from the fulfillment of such duties.
		The sixth attribute of the Dhamma is an often-quoted one.

	Dhamma Is
		Dhamma is the path from misery to genuine happiness; calm acceptance of your innermost changing Nature.
		Dhamma is freedom from the agitated I, the conditioned ego; feeling the release from craving and dissatisfaction and understanding the Universal Law of cause and effect.
		Dhamma is not a conversion to any religion, cult or guru nor is it exclusive to any class, race, country, or gender.

		Dhamma workers should follow the instructions of the Teachers, the assistant teachers, and the center administration and management committees, being amenable to the advice and guidance of those who are elder in meditation or in service.
		Dhamma workers should use the bathrooms for bathing and laundry at times other than the students, and they should go to bed only after the students have done so, in case a problem should arise at that time.
		Dhamma workers must therefore be careful not to appropriate center property by taking anything for their quarters or personal use without first obtaining permission from the management.

	The Dhamma Theory Philosophical Cornerstone of the ABHIDHAMMA
		Thus the dhamma theory was repeatedly enriched, first by the Abhidhamma commentaries and then by the later exegetical literature and the medieval compendia of Abhidhamma, the so-called "little finger manuals" such as the Abhidhammattha- sangaha, which in turn gave rise to their own commentaries.
		The description of dhammas as paramattha means not only their objective existence (paramatthato vijjamanata) but also their cognizability in an ultimate sense (paramatthato upalabbhamanata).73 The first refers to the fact that the dhammas obtain as the ultimate, irreducible data of empirical existence.
		In the case of the mental dhammas, the term used is satsattha (conjoined); in the case of the material dhammas, the term used is avinibbhoga (inseparable).

	Dhamma as Categories in the Dhammapada
		The concept of Dhamma as conditioned categories in Buddhism generally and in the Dhammapada particularly is momentary.
		The term Dhamma in the Pali texts is to refer to things, which arises and vanishes, dependently on cases.
		Dhamma in the sense of righteousness figures very prominently in the Buddha’s explanation of social and political philosophy, as Kalupahana rightly states that Dhamma as righteousness is "the basis of social and political philosophy of the Buddha" [EB.

	The Dhamma: Is it a Philosophy?
		The sublime Dhamma enshrined in these sacred texts, deals with truths and facts, and is not concerned with theories and philosophies which may be accepted as profound truths today only to be thrown overboard tomorrow.
		The Dhamma He taught is not merely to be preserved in books, nor is it a subject to be studied from an historical or literary standpoint.
		As such the Dhamma is compared to a raft which is meant for the sole purpose of escaping from the ocean of birth and death (Samsara).

	Dhamma Without Rebirth?
		The Dhamma, it is said, is concerned solely with the here and now, with helping us to resolve our personal hangups through increased self-awareness and inner honesty.
		However, to downplay the doctrine of rebirth and explain the entire import of the Dhamma as the amelioration of mental suffering through enhanced self-awareness is to deprive the Dhamma of those wider perspectives from which it derives its full breadth and profundity.
		However, if we are going to follow the Dhamma through to its end and tap its full potential for conferring peace and higher wisdom, it is necessary for the motivation of our practice to mature beyond that which originally induced us to enter the path.

	Dhamma Teaching
		Dhamma (i) the ultimate meaning is that basis which is behind all phenomena and is thus the truth.
		The word "Dhamma" means the teaching of a Buddha, which is a new Dhamma and a new era that follows upon the Enlightenment of each buddha and the teaching which he gives to the world.
		Dhamma teaching is therefore the Middle Way which is appropriate in both its causes and its effects from the beginning to the end.

	True Dhamma
		The edicts are direct evidence of the second prong, and for the most part present Dhamma as a series of moral principles and rational behavior that should be common to all religions.
		Then to Moggallana the wanderer, as he heard this Dhamma exposition, there arose the dustless, stainless Dhamma eye: Whatever is subject to origination is all subject to cessation.
		Instead, they follow a pattern to impress on their listeners first that the ideals of the Dhamma are timeless and well-tested, and that there is a need to realize them as quickly as possible.

	Government by Dhamma
		By adhering to the Dhamma even in a negative sense, by giving up pride, craving and views in favor of the Dhamma, people are capable of governing themselves.
		If the people do not adhere to the Dhamma, if they do not use wisdom but simply follow their own desires and preferences, they will not be able to govern themselves and democracy will not work.
		As long as Dhamma in the higher sense is not clear, we must in the meantime adhere to Dhamma in the lower sense by maintaining and abiding by the laws and regulations.

	Dharma (Buddhism) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		The Dhamma is capable of being entered upon and therefore it is worthy to be followed as a part of one's life.
		Goenka, teacher of Vipassana Meditation, the original meaning of dhamma is “dhareti ti dhamma’, or “that which is contained”.

	Erowid Buddhism Vaults : Dhamma, a commentary on Buddha's Teachings
		The Dhamma is therefore the Teaching of the Buddha which consists of the principles of practice for self-discipline, self-purification and self-enlightenment.
		The Dhamma or the Teaching of the Buddha, commonly known as Buddhism, is classified into different divisions, namely (1) Three constituent parts, which is called Tipitaka (3 baskets), (2) Five collections, which is called Pañca Nikaya (3) Nine parts which is called Navangāni, (4) 84000 groups of doctrine which is called Caturasiti Dhamma kkhandhāsahassāni.
		The Dhamma is therefore not merely meant to be preserved only in the books, nor is it a theory or a subject to be studied from a literary standpoint but it is to be learnt and put into actual practice in the course of one's daily life.

		When we make the Dhamma the very reason for our life we are at peace with the world however it manifests.
		The Way of Dhamma is to stay in balance and allow the world to be as it is, letting go of all judgement and recrimination and to transcend the limitations of fear.
		All the great masters, past and present speak of Love as the answer to all the difficulties of the world, but it is for true disciples of Dhamma to hear these words, not only with their ears, but with their heart and their whole being, and then apply them to their life.

		Introduction: Buddha said that comprehending only the essential dhamma is very crucial; even the guardian spirits would come to listen and praise you for reciting that essential recitation.
		So, the two learned theras took turns to preach the Dhamma, but when their discourses ended, there was no applause from the guardian spirits of the forests.
		I do not say that a bhikkhu who has learnt much and talks much of the Dhamma is one who is versed in the Dhamma, (Dhammadhara).

	4. The Dhamma
		For example, Venerable Ananda, the Buddha's personal attendant for many years, was well-versed in the doctrine (Dhamma), while Venerable Upali, another prominent disciple, was preeminent in the discipline (Vinaya).
		Elsewhere the Buddha proclaimed: "I teach nothing but dukkha (unsatisfactoriness) and the extinction of dukkha." This statement is, of course, made in the context of the Four Noble Truths, considered by most scholars to be the central teaching of Buddhist philosophy.
		Crime, corruption, violence, and immoral behavior are some of the symptoms of a mind which is uncared for, uncleansed, and unbeautified by the Dhamma.
