  Dharma character school - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dharma-character school (Chinese: 法相宗 pinyin fa xiang zong) is the pejorative name for a stream of thought that represented the Indian Yogācāra system of thought in East Asia.
The movement that would eventually receive these names was initiated in China by Xuanzang(玄奘), who, on his return from India, brought with him a wagonload of the most important Consciousness-only texts.
His disciple Kuiji (窺基) wrote a number of important commentaries on the Consciousness-only texts and further developed the influence of the school in China.

Besides the Dharma of the mandala, and a few of the basics of retreat life, we learn values of caring for things and people, not wasting, accepting what is offered, and generally maintaining a safe and supportive social environment.
Besides the Dharma of the mandala and buddha families, and a few of the basics of retreat life, we are trying to instill in them some values of caring for things and people, not wasting, and politely accepting what is offered (gratitude encouraged but not demanded).

 Dharma
The word Dharma is derived from the root DHR- to hold- and its etymological meaning is ‘that which holds’ this world, or the people of the world, or the whole creation from the microcosm to the macrocosm.
Dharma includes all external deeds, as well as thoughts and other mental practices which tend to elevate the character of a man. Dharma comes from the Divine and leads you to the Divine.

Followers of the Zen school came to dominate those monasteries in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries, but they never had their own independent monasteries in the sense of institutions that were reserved exclusively for them.
To summarize, the Ch'an school in Sung China was an elitist movement within the Buddhist order that claimed to represent a special mind-to-mind transmission of the Buddha's awakening and succeeded in gaining lay patronage, official recognition, and exclusive access to the abbacies of leading public monasteries.
The Soto school did deviate in one significant way from the Vinaya tradition as it was preserved in the public monasteries of Sung China, for it did not make use of the ten novice precepts (shami jikkai) to ordain novices or the 250 "complete precepts" (gusokukai) to ordain full-fledged monks and nuns.

 tvdvdreviews.com -- Dharma & Greg: Season One DVD Review
Dharma is surprised by her own jealousy when she meets Greg's seemingly perfect ex ("The Ex-Files").
Dharma is horrified to discover that her father is not actually wanted by the F.B.I., but with Greg's help, she continues to charade so that Larry can continue his anti-establishment beliefs ("He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother").
Most of these are dull, but in one he explores how the character of Dharma was created as one of TV's only "non-neurotic" women and how this relates to his tumultuous working relationship with Cybill Shepherd when he was a writer on her eponymous sitcom.

 Compulsory Failure in Modern Schools
Our schools are organized to provide education efficiently for the average student.
The victims of these injures can't heal themselves by simply trying harder in school, and their difficult lives are made even worse by persistent experiences of failure.
Several partial remedies are possible that don't require fundamental redesign of the schooling system, remedies ranging from changing the system of grade levels to include a wider range of ages in each class, to introducing methods for letting students proceed at their own pace.

 Dharma - by Annie Besant - Three Lectures delivered on Oct. 25, 26 and 27 1893
My Dharma is the stage of evolution which my nature has reached in unfolding the seed of divine life which is myself, plus the law of life according to which the next stage is to be performed by me. It belongs to this separated self.
That is why Dharma is spoken of as law, and sometimes as duty; for both these ideas grow out of the root-thought that it is the inner nature at a given stage of evolution and the law of the next stage of its development.
And the duty of all those who are in positions of authority is to remember that the Dharma of a Shudra is fulfilled when he is obedient and faithful to his master, and they should not expect one in that grade of evolution to show forth the higher virtues.

 Xuanzang [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
The Yogacara School is also known for the development of other key concepts that would hold great influence not merely within their system, but within all forms of later Mahayana to come.
On account of the school's idealistic accent it is known as Weishi (Wei-shih) or Ideation Only School; yet because it is concerned with the specific character of all the dharmas, it is often called the Faxiang School as well.
In addition, the philosophy of this school, with its abstruse terminology and hairsplitting analysis of the mind and the senses, was too alien to be accepted by the practical-minded Chinese.

 Theosophy : Dharma by Annie Besant : AnandGholap.net
Dharma may now be defined as the “inner nature of a thing at any given stage of evolution, and the law of the next stage of its unfolding” - the nature at the point it has reached in unfolding, and then the law which brings about its next stage of unfolding.
Then the Dharma of that soul is to evolve all the qualities which are now ready for evolution, and are brought out by leading the life which the inner nature [40] demands, i.e.
It is, therefore, necessary that we should understand something of these schools of morality, differing in their theories [49] and teachings, that exist in the West, if it be only in order to learn to avoid their limitations, and to take from them whatever of good they may have to offer.

I expected it to be a busy devotional temple in a run-down urban ghetto, but to my pleasant surprise it turned out to be a serious study monastery located on quiet and spacious grounds in rural New Jersey, with wooded hills all around and herds of deer grazing on the lawns.
In ancient India it was not rare for monks of different Buddhist schools to dwell peacefully in the same monastery.
To take up the Buddha’s training is thus to draw a distinction, even a sharp distinction, between our characters (proclivities, dispositions, habits, etc.) as they are now, and the ideals to which we should aspire and seek to embody by our practice of the Buddhist path.
