>Dharma (/ˈdɑːrmə/;[8] Sanskrit: धर्म, translit. dharma, pronounced [dʱəɾmə] (About this sound listen); Pali: धम्म, translit. dhamma, translit. dhamma) is a key concept with multiple meanings in the Indian religions – Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism.[9] There is no single-word translation for dharma in Western languages.[10]
>In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with rta, the order that makes life and universe possible,[11][note 1] and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "right way of living".[1] In Buddhism, dharma means "cosmic law and order",[11] and is also applied to the teachings of the Buddha.[11] In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena".[12][note 2] Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara (Jina)[11] and the body of doctrine pertaining to the purification and moral transformation of human beings. For Sikhs, the word dharm means the path of righteousness and proper religious practice.[13]
>The word dharma was already in use in the historical Vedic religion, and its meaning and conceptual scope has evolved over several millennia.[14] The antonym of dharma is adharma.
