[b] And no... Dharma is not a religous term
Since you are so handy with a dictionary, perhaps you would care to define it for us. Defining one's terms is the first part to engaging in any meaniful debate. B)
Why not simply define it as you use it. That way you can skip the dictionary.
I have a take-home midterm to complete, so I will be quite busy between now and Sunday. But this is it, mine friends, my final semester. I will soon earn my BA in Humanities. I am thinking about an MA in either Liberal Arts or Philosophy, but thinking is still the key word.I use this plain smiley because he is so lonely. People prefer the

Study this for awile.... Breath..... Balance your Kaa and Chi....
It is written of Abrahm Brahma....
"....And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness (ie.Dharma)....."Genesis 15:6
and that his attainment of Dharma became such that...
"....And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;
[2] And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,
[3] And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:
[4] Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree:
[5] And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye your hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said.
[6] And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth.
[7] And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetcht a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it.
[8] And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat....." Genesis 18
He could see "The Lord" and "The Lord" ate food before him.
Yet when Arjun looked upon "The Lord" he saw...
"...Arjuna saw in that universal form unlimited mouths, unlimited eyes, unlimited wonderful visions. The form was decorated with many celestial ornaments and bore many divine upraised weapons. He wore celestial garlands and garments, and many divine scents were smeared over His body. All was wondrous, brilliant, unlimited, all-expanding.
If hundreds of thousands of suns were to rise at once into the sky, their radiance might resemble the effulgence of the Supreme Person in that universal form...." Vishvaroop Darshan Yog:chapter 11
The Gita
Both were looking at a man born of a woman.... This is the definition of Dharma. The incarnation of righteousness and attainment of the cosmic duty. As far as I will tell by the authority of the Ma'Jinn that is I myself incarnate.
