Definition
大法 is a noun with two distinct meanings depending on context. In a legal or political setting, it refers to the constitution or fundamental law of a nation. In Buddhism, it refers to the great dharma — the ultimate truth or teachings of the Buddha. Note that the correct pronunciation is 'dà fǎ', though this entry's pinyin field shows only 'dà' for the first character.
