The term “Modharma” was coined in 2007 to refer to a practice and outlook which promotes modern transcendence of myopic self interest. Modharma is a concatenation of modern or modified and the term dharma which means underlying order in nature.

It is embeded in a rich cultural history from Buddhist Dharmic traditions and inspired by Eastern conceptions of enlightenment.

It is also inspired by the Age of Enlightenment and of scientific progress.

Modharma has drawn upon such conceptions such as New Buddhism, Critical Buddhism, Insight Meditation, Secular Humanism, Integral Spirituality, Positive Psychology, etc.

Modharma is this ‘eastern’ or ’sprititual’ equivalent to the ‘western’ or ’secular’ conception of Amura.
