The Dammah
Damma is a
word, that in the Pali tongue, means the Way, the order, or righteousness. The
Dhammapada is the Buddhist Canon, containing the teachings of the Buddha.
This word Damma
is found at least 45 times in the Old Testament. King David uses it 7 times in
the Book of Psalms.
In Psalms
48:9, David writes of the “Damah checed”, which translated, is “the Way, or Order, of
loving kindness and mercy”. It is indeed, a beautiful description of the Buddha’s
teachings.
