Dharmalaya Center for Human Development

Our mission is to promote dharma holistically in personal, social and ecological spheres of life. The root meaning of "dharma" is "that which sustains".

Living beings are sustained, individually and collectively, when they follow their innate nature. The concept of dharma is found in many wisdom traditions and expressions of perennial philosophy. It is also known as the Tao, the Red Path, righteousness, or simply the way. It is the deep patterning of life that, when followed, brings balance, harmony, groundedness and fulfillment.

Following dharma in individual life brings an awakening of spiritual knowledge, leading to self realization. Thus spiritual growth is integral to human dharma.
