i disagree. everything is not seen as inside the dharma. there are things that are not accepted as dharma. there are things that are adverse to dharma; so they are not inside. murder is not within dharma.Everything is inside the Law. Dharma is all the universal truths. By accepting our nature, we find our proper place in the universe. Now, to make sure we stay in the proper parameters, there is karma. Karma is how we form the world.

I remember a rabbi stating much the same concerning the Torah; 'they see only the outer garment'.
I like where you're going with this, leov. But I was thinking of the 32 gates wisdom aka the the Hebrew Alphabet and the Base10 number system it represents. The outer-garment of the Torah are its letters."fifty gates" of understanding comes to play.
