Dharma is the symbolic word heard often in Hinduism. It is not exclusive to Hinduism. It is a way of life common to the universal family of humanity.
What is Dharma?
Dharma is a way of life common to humanity. It is not restricted to any religion, but is applicable to every human person. Dharma is mentioned in Buddhism as Dhamma. Indian religions, such as Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, and Sikhism insist that dharma is the basis of any life which is rewarded in the next life, if the present life on this earth is lived perfectly according to the norms of dharma. A life of dharma leads one to moksha (heavenly bliss) or nirvana (freedom from all bonds of life). There is no need for the question if dharma exists outside India because it pertains to every life on earth.
