Welcome to DharmAmerica
ImageDharmAmerica represents an effort to celebrate the rich diversity of spiritual traditions that spring from the global family of ancient Dharmic traditions of the East and to unite the followers of these Dharmic spiritual traditions residing in North America. While there are many sects, sampradayas, schools and traditions within the Dharmic Faiths of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and other ancient indigenous spiritual paths, they all spring from the same ancient sources in India, which have at their heart the concept of Dharma. Join us as we explore the diverse ways in which Americans live, practice, serve and defend Dharma in their daily lives. Learn about the many forms that Dharma takes and is expressed. Discover the foundations of dharmic belief that all of us share in common. For those of us in the family of Dharmic traditions, the way we individually express Dharma is not as important as what Dharma points us to. Welcome!
