Everything changes, everything is connected; pay attention.
Any others in seven words (more or less)?

You beat me to it. I think that one sums it up best.
Another one:
Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha
Wisdom, morality, concentration

That's a nice one! Exactly seven words and very true; the Tipitaka is some 40 volumes long.

just noticed we are defining Dhamma (not Buddhism) so I shouldn't use the same Dhamma term in a definition.
Here's another one:
1. mindfulness (sati)
2. investigation of mental phenomena (dhamma vicaya)
3. energy (viriya)
4. joy (pīti)
5. tranquillity (passaddhi)
6. concentration (samādhi)
7. equanimity (upekkhā)
(The 7 factors of enlightenment)
