Dharma
Doctrines and rituals
Dharma (Skt. dhar, ‘to hold’ or ‘to carry’, Pa. dhamma) can mean many things in Asian religions (Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism): from law, morals, or circumstance to the reality of the cosmic order or to religion. The term dharma is often used to designate the Buddhist teaching.
