According to Buddhism, dharma is a person's life mission and indicates the reason why he was sent to this world. For Buddhists, Dharma is the natural law of life and the pre-destined way that a person has to connect with the universe and connect with the laws of nature, following its precepts and commandments to have a good life. Nature, in this case, presents itself as a powerful and wise way, following its laws leads the individual to have good karma (since nature is wise), but not following its laws leads to bad karma, where the individual will only find pain and suffering.
