"Buddhism" & "Buddhist" in Pali Canon
Do the words (or their pali equivalents?) "Buddhism" & "Buddhist" appear/exist in the Pali Canon?

Re: "Buddhism" & "Buddhist" in Pali Canon
Greetings,
The following come to mind...
Buddhasasana... the Buddha's dispensation
Dhammavinaya... the doctrine and the discipline
Sravaka... disciple (lit. 'hearer')
Metta,
Retro.

Oh yeah, I thought I did enough by leaving out the 'h'.

upāsaka: lit. 'sitting close by', i.e. a 'lay adherent', is any lay follower who is filled with faith and has taken refuge in the Buddha, his doctrine and his community of noble disciples (A. VIII, 25). His virtue is regarded as pure if he observes the 5 Precepts (pañca-sīla; s. sikkhāpada). He should avoid the following wrong ways of livelihood: trading in arms, in living beings, meat, alcohol and poison (A. V, 177). See also A. VIII, 75.AnonOfIbid wrote:Do the words (or their pali equivalents?) "Buddhism" & "Buddhist" appear/exist in the Pali Canon?

Hi AnonOfIbid,
No, they were coined by European scholars at the begining of 19th century. At first it was ‘Boudhism’ (Oxford English Dictionary, 1801), later it transformed to ‘Buddhism’ (1816).AnonOfIbid wrote:Do the words (or their pali equivalents?) "Buddhism" & "Buddhist" appear/exist in the Pali Canon?

It was pretty much mostly called "Dhamma-Vinaya" the doctrine and discipline, i.e., the teachings and monastic code.
