The universal order, the rising and setting of the sun and moon, and the passage of the seasons all fall under the broad heading of dharma. Dharma also refers to a way of living that embodies proper conduct. This can include religious rites, social duties, or adherence to sacred text. Dharma is a manifestation of the fullness of our humanity, appearing as compassion, charity, kindness, truthfulness, and never causing harm to others. Dharma also has a spiritual dimension and can be understood as the practices and lifestyle focused on enlightenment and liberation from this world.
Dharma is a topic that Dr Sutton has studied and taught for decades and now – years in the making – we have a new course: A Study of Dharma.
