 | | In Buddhism, the Dharma most often means the body of teachings expounded by the Buddha, while, but, confusingly, the word is also used in Buddhist phenomenology as a term roughly equivalent to phenomenon, a basic unit of existence and/or experience. |
 | | For practicing Buddhists, references to "Dharma" in the singular, particularly as "the" Dharma, is used as a signifier of the teachings of the Buddhists, and is sometimes called the Buddha-Dharma. |
 | | This notion is of particular importance for the analysis of human experience: Rather than assuming that mental states inhere in a cognizing subject, or a soul-substance, Buddhist philosophers largely propose that mental states alone exist as "constituent factors", and that a subjective aspect is contained in these states themselves. |
