What does karma and dharma have to do with nirvana?
In Buddhism Dharma is has multiple meanings. The First is the universal Law (truth) of nature, also known as Natural Law. The Second is the teachings of Buddha that applies un…derstanding of the Natural Law to conduct of human life. Lastly, it also means phenomena or characteristics. Karma is the concept of action or deed. In the west this is confused as the payback to your actions (Fate, e.g. It was my karma to get yelled at because I yell at everyone). This is an incorrect understanding. The reactions to your actions is the Karmic Fruit (vipaka). Your karma is the way you typically reaction to a given situation each time it happens. Nirvana, in Buddhism, is a state of which exists no suffering. The word literally means "blowing out". That is blowing out the fires of greed, hate, and delusions. According to The Buddha, to reach this state of Nirvana, one had to understand the Dharma, how the world is, live a life in which your karma was in tune to this world and all the creatures in it and live without delusions.

What does karma dharma zen mean?
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 o…f 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. (MORE)

How are Dharma and Karma related?
Hinduism believes in the concept of reincarnation. What determines the state of an individual in the next existence is karma which refers to the actions undertaken by the body… and the mind. In order to achieve good karma it is important to live life according to dharma. This involves doing what is right for the individual, the family, the community and also for the universe itself. Dharma is like a cosmic norm and if one goes against the norm it can result in bad karma. So, dharma affects the future according to the karma accumulated. Therefore, one's dharmic path in the next life is determined by their past karma. (MORE)
