This talk explores the question: What is the Dharma? Dharma is a very old word coming out of Indian philosophies like Hinduism and Jainism, and Buddhism. In the Pali dialect of Buddhism, it’s pronounced Dhamma, so the “r” of Dharma is dropped and replaced with another “m”. Dharma and Dhamma are often used interchangeably in Buddhism. The earliest understanding of this word is the nature of reality, the natural law of the universe. It’s also defined as one's duty in life. Living a virtuous life. It also refers to a specific path. Dharma is a central word in Buddhism. It is sometimes synonymous with the word Buddhism. BuddhaDharma is what I teach, the teachings of the Buddha.
