Dharmic Traditions

Dharmic religion, known as Indian religions, are traditions that originate from the Indian subcontinent. These traditions share common core beliefs, methods of worship, and related practices. The central core philosophy of Indian traditions centers around the concept of Dharma, which is a Sanskrit term means “law” or “Duty,” mainly in the spiritual sense. In the development of these traditions in their travel across Asia the core belief in this natural law remained but became known by different names and ways of practice to achieve this true way differed. These dharmic religions are interrelated due to them sharing a rich history and religious text. While Dharmic traditions can be viewed as a belief system, they are known to emphasize the interconnectedness of both social and theological aspects of society.
