Dharma

Dharma ([dʱəɾmə]; Sanskrit: धर्म dharma,  listen ; Pali: धम्म dhamma) is a key concept with multiple meanings in the Indian religions Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. There is no single word translation for dharma in western languages.

In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviours that are considered to be in accord with rta, the order that makes life and universe possible, and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and ‘‘right way of living’’. In Buddhism dharma means "cosmic law and order", but is also applied to the teachings of the Buddha. In Buddhist philosophy, dhamma/dharma is also the term for "phenomena".Dharma in Jainism refers to the teachings of tirthankara (Jina) and the body of doctrine pertaining to the purification and moral transformation of human beings. For Sikhs, the word dharm means the "path of righteousness".

The Classical Sanskrit noun dharma is a derivation from the root dhṛ, which has a meaning of "to hold, maintain, keep". The word "dharma" was already in use in the historical Vedic religion, and its meaning and conceptual scope has evolved over several millennia. The antonym of dharma is adharma.

Waiting' On A Bullet

by: Drew Womack

Sometimes a second lasts forever
Feels like a pendulum is just hangin' there now
The last word you said floats like a feather
And all at once I realize I ain't got a prayer now
Get down to it
Spare me the rest
Never mind the small talk
I know what's coming next
You got me waitin' on a bullet
Just like a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
So I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
Is that what you call a fair warnin'
To wear you lipstick in a brighter shade now
When you put it on this morning
You loaded up that chamber with the choice you made
Get down to it
Say it's for the best
Tell me that you're sorry
And get it off your chest
You've got me waitin' on a bullet
Just like a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
Your lips are a smokin' gun
And they're movin' in slow motion
Get down to it
Say you're movin' on
Get up and start walkin'
Get up and get gone
Can't take this waitin' on a bullet
Just like a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
I'm just Waitin' on a bullet
I'm just a bird on a wire
We both know the outcome
Now that the shot has been fired
And I know there's nothin' I can change
To change the way you feel
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
And my time's standin' still
And my time's standin' still
I'm just waitin' on a bullet
