969/968, the buddhisma, is a 19-limit superparticular comma of about 1.79 cents. It is the amount by which a stack consisting of 22/17 and 22/19 falls short of 3/2. By tempering it out is defined the buddhismic temperament, which enables the buddhismic chords.

Etymology

The name buddhisma was named by Xenllium in 2023. It refers to the 969 Movement, which is a Buddhist nationalist movement opposed to what they see as Islam's expansion in predominantly-Buddhist Myanmar. The three digits of 969 "symbolize the virtues of the Buddha, Buddhist practices and the Buddhist community". The first 9 stands for the nine special attributes of the Buddha and the 6 for the six special attributes of his Dharma, or Buddhist Teachings, and the last 9 represents the nine special attributes of Buddhist Sangha (monastic community). Those special attributes are the Three Jewels of the Buddha.
