These are three concepts from eastern religions. Both Buddhists and Hindus believe in Karma and Dharma-- in fact the two concepts are intertwined. Karma is the universal law of cause and event-- we in the west would say "you reap what you sow," or whatever you do will come back to you. Hindus, Buddhists and other eastern faiths believe in reincarnation-- you are born, and then reborn a number of times until you finally reach enlightenment and are allowed to leave this material world. If you have lived a good life, you will get a better birth and a happier life next time; if you lived a bad life, you will get a lower birth or a life where you suffer. So, the goal is to get good karma, for which you will be rewarded (if not in this life, then in the next); if you get bad karma, you will be punished (again, if not in this life, then in the next). How do you get good karma? Do your dharma.
Dharma refers to your religious and ethical duty, as defined by the teachings of Hinduism and Buddhism. (In Hinduism, this may involve devotional service to your particular deity, service to your guru, studying scriptures, chanting specific prayers, etc. In Buddhism, it may involve studying the Buddha's teachings, committing to a non-violent and simple lifestyle, and following what the Buddha said about the "eightfold path," the specific steps and beliefs which will guide you to achieving inner peace as well as wisdom.) If you perform your religious duties and live an ethical life, you will reap the rewards for having done so.
As for zen, this is a specific kind of Buddhism which believes that you can gain enlightenment and wisdom through meditation and quiet contemplation, rather than through particular actions or through reading scriptures; the goal of zen meditation is to help the person to gain insights into the meaning of life: to lose all illusions and see things as they truly are; and ultimately, to achieve Satori, or spiritual enlightenment. Zen Buddhism is popular in parts of China, Japan, Vietnam and Korea.

If you follow your Dharma (righteous living) well. And practice ahimsa or Non Violence you will be rewarded for good karma.
Karma is the law of cause and effect. Many people think that Karma means that if you are mean to others, you will suffer bad luck in the future. This is a gross simplification of the way Karma effects our lives, but it is sufficient for a short answer. Dharma refers to the underlying order of the cosmos, and is often used to mean "the way"or "the path", meaning the right way to live and study to achieve lasting happiness.
major belief of Hinduism are Dharma (righteous living) Artha (material prosperity) Kāma (enjoyment) & Moksha (liberation).
