For example, someone who is a soldier is obligated by a different dharma than a monk.
Our particular dharma in each life is conditioned by the karma that led to our rebirth.
Thus, a soldier must be willing to kill, even though this involves the taking of a life, which would mean bad karma for a monk. Each performs according to his dharma in life.
Not performing according to one’s station in life is adharma.
Can you think of people you know, or public individuals who are performing dharma in accordance with their particular station in life?
