Buddhadharma means “the Truth of the Awakened one”. It refers to the unique set of teachings set forth by the historical person we know as “the Buddha”. “Buddhism is a Western word coined to refer to the many different eastern religions that are based on the Buddhadharma. The Buddha didn’t start a religion, nor did he promote any existing religion. But every Asian culture in which his teachings have become established has incorporated the Dharma into preexisting religious frameworks, thus making it into a religion. This is good news for us, because it means that Buddhist spirituality doesn’t require anyone to abandon his or her current religion, even those who count themselves as agnostic or atheist. Indeed, many Buddhist meditators today
don’t identify their religion as Buddhism.
