Dharma
Sacred Buddhist teachings
Dharma appears capitalized when referring specifically to Buddhist teachings as a formal body of doctrine, often alongside Buddha and Sangha as the Three Jewels: Taking refuge in the Dharma.
It's also a given name, familiar to Western audiences from the TV series *Dharma & Greg*. (Lowercase dharma is the general concept of cosmic law or duty.)
