The Spiritual brotherhood/sisterhood of Susila Budhi Dharma. Subud is an acronym of Susila Budhi Dharma. However, it's not simply the name of the organisation but a representation of what the Practice is trying to imbue or reawaken in a person. Susila stands for a person with a good character, Budhi is to have recognised the essence of God within oneself and Dharma to live a life guided by the essence of God, that is, not to hurt others or oneself and to be charitable through wealth, knowledge and/or kindness. The Sanskrit meanings differ and you will find variations of their meaning in other Subud literature, but in essence and summation this is Subud's use of the three Sanskrit words. This is some of my personal understanding and experiences of being a Subud practitioner for nearly forty years.
