dhammacàrã one who walks in the righteousness. (adj.) virtuous.
Blog, Suttas, Aj Chah, Facebook.

He who knows only his own side of the case knows little of that. His reasons may be good, and no one may have been able to refute them.
But if he is equally unable to refute the reasons on the opposite side, if he does not so much as know what they are, he has no ground for preferring either opinion …
...
He must be able to hear them from persons who actually believe them … he must know them in their most plausible and persuasive form.

Dhamma

Noun

* 1. The Buddha’s teachings.
* 2. Truth
* 3. Wisdom
* 4. A natural condition
* 5. Mental quality.

I know, not very creative, but Dhamma was bound to appear at least one time. :tongue:

Again, this is highly non-creative:

Buddha : The Enlightened One, Awakened One.

In Devanagari:

बुद्ध

= ba, बु= Bu, = da (Dental /d̪/) , = dha (/d̪ʱ/) da + dha = द्ध

Tipitaka (Pali ti, "three," + pitaka, "baskets"), or Pali canon, is the collection of primary Pali language texts which form the doctrinal foundation of Theravada Buddhism. The Tipitaka and the paracanonical Pali texts (commentaries, chronicles, etc.) together constitute the complete body of classical Theravada texts.

ti-lakkhana [ti-lakkha.na]: Three characteristics inherent in all conditioned phenomena — being inconstant (anicca), stressful (dukkha), and not-self (anatta).
"Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."

Someone had to do it!
“No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes.”
- Cormac McCarthy, The Road

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.
- Sutta Nipata 3.725

Titthāyatana: the 3 'articles of heretical belief', which in A. III, 61 are declared as leading to inactivity, are: 1 the belief that all happiness and woe are produced through former kamma prenatal actions; see: kamma; 2 that everything is uncaused; 3 that everything is created by God.

(Have we run out of "threes" yet?)
