I asked a question which indirectly asked about Adhamma. However there was no direct refutation of Adhamma. So , I had to ask this question directly: Is there anything called as Adhamma in the Suttas ? In Sanskrit there is a word Adharma as opposite of dharma. > Adharma (Sanskrit: अधर्म) is derived from combining "a" with "dharma", > which literally implies "not-dharma". It means immoral, sinful, wrong, > wicked, unjust, unbalanced, or unnatural. Suppose I say forms are you or yours or yourself . Feelings are you or yours or yourself. Perceptions are you or yours or yourself. Choices are you or yours or yourself. Consciousness is you or yours or yourself. Then can the above observation or teaching be called Dhamma or Adhamma? I am asking this to clarify the meaning of Dhamma.
