What is dharma?

Dharma is part of many religions or spiritual beliefs that began in India. Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism believe in that idea. It means the law of spiritual growth of believers.

In Hinduism

In Hinduism, dharma is the spiritual law for human beings. It is the way of goodness, truth and duty. For example, a child's dharma is to be a good student. Parents’ dharma is to raise and support their family. A teacher’s dharma is to teach, and the dharma of the police is to protect others. Each age brings new responsibilities, so dharma will change over your lifetime. It is everyone’s dharma to be honest, kind and religious, to do no harm to others and to be a good citizen. Hindus believe that following dharma fulfills the highest purpose on earth. When people follow dharma, they feel good about themselves, and life is most rewarding.

What would your dharma include? What are your responsibilities as children at home and at school?

Have a look at Mr Grimshaw's example below. 

Now have a go at creating your own dharma poster. You might want to do this on Seesaw. You could take a selfie and upload it to the middle of your slide. St the rest out like the example above. Your headings will be At Home and At School.
