The article claims that the term Dharma is untranslatable into English. While this is true, the closest meaning of Dharma in English is the term ``Sustainability. A dharmic framework is a normative framework that promotes sustainability (of life and the ecosystem). The saying, "Dharme rakshati rakshitaha" (Dharma, if protected, protects) which characterizes the concept of Dharma indicates the sustainability characteristic of Dharma. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.192.226.214 ( talk) 14:07, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
Seeing how Sanskrit and Pali are both Aryan (Indo-European) languages it does not make any sense saying there is no (single-word-) translation in "western languages" seeing how closely those languages are related (Sanskrit, Pali.... with English, German etc.). Also obviously no one trying to actually understand this article would want a one word translation because it would counteract the sense of the article itself which makes it redundant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.108.9.185 ( talk) 03:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
"Orlog" (aka Ørlög, Örlögr, Örlög, Orlǫg, Orlæg, Orlay (English-specific version) [1], etc) is the closest single-word meaning of Dharma in English [2]. “Örlogr” is the Primal Law, the (Sanatana) Dharma of the Hindus, the ‘expression’ of the Divine on earth." — Highcraft ( talk) 23:06, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
References
Buddhism uses "phenomenon" in a particular sense. However, this article references a Wikipedia article on "phenomenon", which describes only this word as it is used in Western Philosophy and offers no explanation for the use in Buddhist context. I suggest that either the link here be deleted or the WP article expanded to explain what the term means in Buddhism.

Please excuse me as I'm a novice wiki editor/user.
I would suggest the word pariyatti point towards [dharma].
My first attempt was probably preachy and not sourced properly. I intended to source it but forgot.
So here is my proposal Take the text from the current page on pariyatti below "In Theravada Buddhism pariyatti is the learning of the theory of dharma as contained within the suttas of the Pali canon. It is contrasted with patipatti which means to put the theory into practice and pativedha which means penetrating it or rather experientially realising the truth of it."
This is essentially sourced from this webpage https://www.accesstoinsight.org/lib/thai/lee/triplegem.html#sorts3
Which itself is from an Article entitled "What is the Triple Gem?" by Ajaan Lee Dhammadharo translated from the Thai by Thanissaro Bhikkhu © 1994

The most academic way to cover this topic would be to have Dharma (Buddhism) and Dharma (Hinduism). Not everything that's related gets put on one page! As it is, the article is limited to a dull comparative study. 64.222.90.15 ( talk) 05:33, 29 January 2021 (UTC)John Dee
I have reverted this edit: [1] by JaMongKut, which was also previously reverted by Joshua Jonathan. JaMongKut, please explain why you think these changes are necessary, in order to establish consensus for making them, thanks. -- IamNotU ( talk) 13:29, 6 February 2021 (UTC)
@ Joshua Jonathan: Regarding this edit diff, the content about the Christian philosophy doesn't have any citations with its relation to Dharma, I'm not sure why we need that to be included, that's the reason I removed that unsourced material. Do we really need that to be included, since idea of “eusebeia” is already mentioned in previous paragraph? Wiki Linuz ( Ping me!) 05:39, 15 September 2021 (UTC)
