The terms ethics and morality are closely related. Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. The concept of cosmic order of life gives rise to the idea of Dharma in Indian tradition. In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviors that are considered to be in accord with Rta, the order that makes life and universe possible, and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "the right way of living". In Buddhism, dharma means "cosmic law and order", and is also applied to the teachings of Buddha. In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena". Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara (Jina) and the body of the 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. The word dharma was already in use in the historical Vedic religion, and its meaning and conceptual scope has evolved over several millennia. #themodernvedic #ethics #cosmic #cosmic_order #life #humanity #human_beings #moral_philosophy #moral_duty #obligation #righteousness #wrongfulness #social #spiritual #moral_code #conduct #tradition #rigveda #dharmashaastra #dharma #ashrama #purusartha #brahmacharya #grihastha #vanaprastha #sannyasa #dharma #artha #kama #moksha (at House of Ethics) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ISNMjhHjl/?igshid=m8iunuqncj9p
