Dhamma (skt. Dharma): Supreme Truth; the basic principles of that Truth; transcendent spiritual qualities; the Buddha”s Teaching. First and fore­most, Dhamma is the quintessential nature of perfect harmony existing in and of itself, independent of all phenomena, yet permeating every aspect of sentient existence. Dhamma is the right natural order of things that forms the underlying basis for all existence, though it is not depen­dent on or conditioned by any form of existence. Ultimately, Dhamma is the sum of those transcendent qualities, such as detachment, loving kindness and wisdom, the spiritual perfection of which brings the mind into harmony with the Supreme Truth. By further extension, Dhamma encompasses the basic principles that are the essence of the Buddha”s Teaching, including the patterns of behavior that should be practiced so as to harmonize oneself with the right natural order of things.

　　法(Dhamma)：無上真理；真理的根本原則；心靈最高的素質；佛陀的教導。首先，法的本性本質上圓滿和諧地存在，與一切現象無關，但卻存在于有情衆生的一切層面。法是萬物正確的自然秩序，存在于一切，但它不受任何存在所限製。最後，法包含所有無上的素質，例如 離執、慈愛和智慧，令心和諧的圓滿修證。要再加以補充的是，法還包括佛陀教導的基本原則，包含個人與自然法則相應的修行。
