'''Dharma''' in [[Buddhism]] means the teachings of the [[Buddha]] which lead to [[Nirvana|enlightenment]].

What is called ''Buddhism'' in western countries is called '''buddha-dharma''' in eastern countries. This term simply means "Path of Awakening" and is thus a form of [[dharma]].

* "Dharma" usually refers not just to the sayings of the Buddha but to the later traditions of the various [[schools of Buddhism]] which expanded upon the Buddha's teachings. Tradition says that the Buddha gave 84,000 different teachings to various types of people based on their needs.
* Alternately, "dharma"
*may be seen as the [[truth]] which is beyond worldly things, so the word may refer to the ultimate [[reality]], "truth", "phenomena", or "the way things are".

The Dharma is one of the [[Three Jewels]] of Buddhism of which followers of Buddhism seek refuge in (what one relies on for his/her lasting happiness). The three jewels of Buddhism are the [[Buddha]] (mind's perfection of enlightenment), the Dharma (teachings and methods), and the [[Sangha]] (awakened beings who provide guidance and support).
