'''Dharma''' refers to an [[ethics|ethical]] way of living; it is the path one should follow to live rightly in accordance with [[Hindu]] and Buddhist philosophical principles.
In [[Buddhism]], followers adhere to these five principles of the dharma:
===Faith===
Faith in the triple gem, which is [[Buddha]], ''Dharma'', and [[Sangha]]. Sangha is the community.
===Precepts===
The Buddhist precepts are simple: don’t [[kill]], don’t [[steal]], don’t engage in sexual misconduct ([[rape]] or [[adultery]]), don’t [[lie]], and don’t take [[alcohol|intoxicants]] which cloud the mind.
===Listening===
Only through listening can we understand [[good]] and [[evil]].
===Giving===
Engaging in [[charity]] and selflessness reminds us that the Dharma is not intended for us alone, but it is to be shared with everyone.
===Wisdom===
From the teaching: One has to listen, contemplate and put into practice the Dharma. Then one may gain [[wisdom]], and realize the truth.
