Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to attempt an analytical study of the concept of the Dhamma in Theravāda Buddhism, both as non-moral natural law, as well as moral natural law. In its former aspect, it consists largely of the paṭiccasammupāda and tilakkaṇa, in its latter as the ariyaṭṭhaṅgikamagga and the tisikkhā, both which lead to the ultimate goal of Buddhism, the cessation of dukkha. The present work is a textual study, which begins with an exploration and examination of the background and concept of the term Dhamma, including the pre-Buddhist period and its usage on the part of wanderers contemporary with the Buddha. The term Dhamma is a profound term, having many different connotations, depending upon the context in which it is encountered. For instance, the term is used to refer to nature, natural law, as well as the Buddha’s teachings, and the various practices that lead to nibbāna. Finally, we examine the role that these laws play at the individual, social and environmental levels, and the manner in which those levels are interrelated as a result of those laws.
