A ConTentious Report About Spiritual Transformations
Dharma is righteousness. It's a religious and social obligation. God, society and meditation activities truthful moral living are interconnected by dharma.
The term dharma entails responsibility to self, others and god. It really is not really a book of laws or rules; rather it's doing the right thing at the proper time and place.

The wheel or wheels of Dharma are the tools through which Buddha uses to teach us how we can reach enlightenment. Physically you can find eight spokes on the wheel of Dharma and each spoke is a representation or reference point to the eight fold paths to enlightenment. When every one of these paths is followed continuously through out a persons life then they are going to finally have inner peace.
The meaning of the phrase Dharma is protection. When a person follows the eight fold path they will be protecting themselves from suffering as well as other problems of this earth. As humans we strive every day of our live to reach a point where we no longer have to come up against metaphorical walls, or problems, but because from the beginning of time, we have created a growing number of chaos around ourselves there's no way we can run. Everyday during our lives, we as a race are ignorant, we chose not to find out this despite the fact that it will never go way on it's own. By practicing Dharma we can finally find the means to an end.
Adherence to truth, non-violence and universal love are the prerequisites of a dharmic way of life. Practicing what you preach, doing as you say, is righteousness. Living in anxiety about God is dharma.
Tending one's parents, acting virtuously, speaking truth, praying to God earnestly with a pure mind, never talking ill of others, or finding faults with others, and not causing pain to other beings is dharma. Do unto others when you would have them do unto you.
Whenever man guided through the voice of God within him, reduces his desires, subdues his egoism, removes bad thoughts, and impulses, and gives up the tendency to regard his body as self, is on the path to dharma.
The goal of dharma will be the merging of the wave in the sea, the merging of the self within the universal being- God. The way to realize, what our real duty is to really listen to the voice within our heart and follow the instructions given to us. Our conscience alone will be the voice of God and our true guide in all kinds of situations. When we accept the phrase of God, we're going to have a contented and peaceful life full of happiness.
