84000

There are 84000 Dhamma doors to the Buddha's teaching for Awakening.

This is a common expression and it means:-

8 - The 8-fold Noble Path

4 - The 4 Noble Truths

000 - Seeing all things in reality as empty, without a solid unchanging self, each ‘zero’ represents the Universal characteristics of (i) Impermanence [anicca], (ii) Suffering [dukkha] and (iii) Non Self [anatta]
