Karma usually refers to an idea like universal justice of what goes around comes around and you reap what you sow and all that, what you put out there comes back to you. as the concept is presented by some this can happen in the here and now or it could be refering to past and future lives as it relates to a belief in reincarnation which i firmly do not belive in

Dharma has a couple definitions in its use in buddhist practice. In the Glossary of Thich Nhat Hahn's "Chanting from the Heart" Dharma capitalized is defined as "The true teachings of the Awakened One (the Buddha), the path of understanding and love" and dharma uncapitalized is defined as Phenominon, thing, or object of the mind.

The teachings of the Awakened one or the Buddha are mostly silent on reincarnation and neither promote or deny it. it was the commonly held belief in the prevailing culture at the time that the Buddha lived

dharma is a tricky word to understand at least for me the first time i encountered it so to help understand how the word dharma is used as phenominon thing or object of mind we could cross reference the four noble truths with the sutra on the mindfulness of breathing. and i will give you some usage of the word in context by the one i look to ultimately as teacher in my practice.

One of the root causes of the truth of suffering is attachment to the imperminant and so one way that Thay (Thich Nhat Hahn) has elaborated on the meditations in the mindfulness of breathing is "I am breathing in and I can see and look deeply into the impermanent nature of all dharmas. I am breathing out and I can see the impermanent nature of all dharmas." and further "I am breathing in and I am looking deeply at the non-desirable nature of all dharmas. I am breathing out and I am looking at the undesirable nature of all dharmas". and
then "Breathing in I can see the cessation of all dharmas, the nirvana nature, the nirodha nature of all dharmas. I am breathing out and I am able to see the nirvana nature of all dharmas". Thay in explination offers "It means that things are not worth our being attached to them, or running after them. It is because we have a wrong perception about things that we run after them. When we can see the real nature of these things we will not run after them; this is the non-desirable nature of dharmas"

because its in the quote i also offer that Thay also defines Nirvana as "The extinction of all views and concepts and the suffering based on them, To have no attachments to the realm of birth and death, Refers to the Ultimate reality"

i hope that helps
