Can anyone recommend academic books exploring the meaning of dharma and karma? I've been watching Youtube lectures for the past three days, but it's at worst contradictive, and at best vague. I realise dharma and karma are hard to translate as well as understand from a western philosophical perspective, but someone must have tried.

Would it be correct to say that through practicing your (individual) dharma, you can be witness to the (general) dharma? By realizing yourself, you also realize the dharma of the universe. You practice the law to be the law. And the law is. Kinda.

I had an interesting thought while meditating this morning: What if you, while meditating, are able to dissolve evey category and notion of your mind to the point where you lock yourself into a meditative state. Like, you cannot leave because everything that is has been dissolved. Do buddhist writings maybe talk about this kind of state, and have a name for it?

Do you guys pray? Also, what forms of prayer are there in eastern religions? I'm only familiar with catholic prayers, but I'm curious about different types of rituals that involve some level of verbalizing your faith.
