| In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviors that are considered to be in accord with rta, the order that makes life and universe possible,[10] and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and ‘‘right way of living’’.[7] '''In Buddhism dharma means "cosmic law and order",[10] but is also applied to the teachings of the Buddha.[10] In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena".[11]''' Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara (Jina)[10] and the body of doctrine pertaining to the purification and moral transformation of human beings. For Sikhs, the word dharm means the path of righteousness and proper religious practice.[12]
