Dharma (Sanskrit: धर्म) or Dhamma (Pāli: धमा) (Natural Law) (pronunciation (help·info)) refers to the underlying order in Nature and human life and behaviour considered to be in accord with that order. Ethically, it means 'right way of living' or 'proper conduct,' especially in a religious sense. With respect to spirituality, dharma might be considered the Way of the Higher Truths. Dharma is a central concept in religions and philosophies originating in India. These religions and philosophies are called Dharmic religions. The principal ones are Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma), Buddhism (Buddhadharma), Jainism (Jain Dharma) and Sikhism, all of which emphasize Dharma (the correct understanding of Nature) in their teachings. [1][2][3] In these traditions, beings that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward Dharma Yukam, Moksha or Nirvana (personal liberation). Dharma also refers to the teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions, such as those of Gautama Buddha and Mahavira. In traditional Hindu society with its caste structure, Dharma constituted the religious and moral doctrine of the rights and duties of each individual.
"Yes, Virginia, kharma is real." The Yin and the Yang of the Universe will forever seek balance. In the ancient Jewish law it was simply defined as "an eye for an eye" and in more modern Christian literature it is "you reap what you sow". There is no doubt that these things are true.

Karma is positive or negative energy that you have built up against you or for you based on your actions in life. Dharma is how well you are living your creed or your beliefs in life...how well you practice what you preach type thing. The more closely you follow what you truly believe, the better your Dharma becomes. Also, I think Karma impacts you in this life and is temporary energy. Whereas Dharma impacts you towards your next live and stays with you when you pass from human life.

Dharma is the teachings (Hindu or Buddhist)... Karma is about cause and effect (to some degree, Hindu or Buddhist)...
