what is darma is buddhism?

Answer 1

understanding the nature of things
it is life , the journey, the lessons

Answer 2

The really short answer is, the teachings and methods of the Buddha.

The longer answer: The Dharma in Buddhism are the teachings of Buddha. Some Buddhist reserve this word to mean the actual teachings of Buddha as they have been passed down. This would include the saying of the Buddha, the interpretation of his words and the methods to achieve enlightenment as taught by the Buddha. Many Buddhists also believe that this includes "Ultimate reality" since the Buddhas teachings were like a finger pointing to the moon, focusing on the finger and not the moon is counterproductive. This, the teachings of the Buddha, the Dharma, MUST include the ultimate goal, the perception of reality or "The way things truly are."

The complete answer would take chapters of information, so I'll just leave this answer as it is. Enjoy!

I hope this helps.

Answer 3

Dharma is the teaching of the Buddha, Siddartha Gautama. In Hinduism, Darma has to do with the duties associated with your caste.

Answer 4

Dharma is a Sanskrit word, a concept of eastern religions. Simply explained, it is the way of the higher Truths, a lifestyle that leads to minimum accumulation of karma and is therefore the fastest path to personal liberation.

The word dharma or dhamma (Pali) is used in most or all philosophies and religions of Indian origin, the dharmic faiths, namely Hinduism (Sanatana Dharma), Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism. In its oldest form, dharman, it first appears in the Vedas.

In Buddhism, the Dharma most often means the body of teachings expounded by the Buddha. Confusingly, the word is also used in Buddhist phenomenology as a term roughly equivalent to phenomenon, a basic unit of existence and/or experience.

For practicing Buddhists, references to "dharma" or dhamma in the singular, particularly as "the" Dharma, is used to mean the teachings of the Buddha, and is sometimes mistakenly called the Buddha-Dharma. Dhamma is the universal law of nature and to call it Buddha-Dhamma suggests that other kinds of Dhamma may exist.

"Dharma" usually refers inclusively not just to the sayings of the Buddha but to the later traditions of interpretation and addition that the various schools of Buddhism have developed to help explain and expand upon the Buddha's teachings.

The Dharma is one of the Three Jewels, and Buddhists are said to seek refuge in it as in the Buddha and the Sangha.

Answer 5

There are 3 meanings for the word "dharma" in Buddhism.

Usually spelled with a small "d" in English, a dharma is kind of like an elementary event, the sort of events that collect together to make "things" appear to be things. A little like atoms, but they are more like processes than substances.

"Dharma" also means the Teaching. "Dharma" or "Buddha Dharma" is how many Buddhists refer to their religious traditions (rather than calling it "Buddhism").

Finally, for some Buddhists, especially in the Mahayana schools, "Dharma" can refer to Reality or the universe.
