The Five Niyama Dhamma (The Laws of The Universe)

How do some things happen in this universe? Is anyone control those? Are there any reasons for them? Some times these questions come to our minds. Lets see what Buddha said about them.

There are five rules which exist in this universe. We called them as Five Niyama Dharma There are no reasons for them and no one is controlling them. It is the nature of this universe. Following are the description of the five Niyama Dharma.

1. Uthu Niyama

Uthu NIyama is about the climate changing, Seasons changing, earthquakes, floods, droughts, Tsunami etc. everything includes in here. Reactions of the heat, gas, liquidity and solidity makes these things happen and no one is doing those things and no reasons need to them to happen.

2. Beeja Niyama

This is simply about the genetics. In Pali Beeja means the seeds. So this describes that children get their parents genetics and it is a rule of this universe too. Every human, animal and trees inherit their parents genetics. Also they can inherit their actions, way of speaking and lot of things.

3. Dhamma Niyama

Dhamma has lot of meanings in the Buddhism. In here it is about the changing. Everything in this universe are subject to the changing. There is nothing can escape from it. Everything change in every nano second. We are getting old every moment, Trees, mountains, rivers, earth, sun, solar system, galaxies and whole the universe is changing in every nano seconds. No one controls it and it is a law of the universe. This rule makes form of the new solar systems and also destruction too.

4. Kamma Niyama

This is about the famous Karma . You get the relevant results of your good or bad actions and it is called as Krama and it is one of the rules of this universe. Karma provide us fuel to go in this endless Sansara. Lets see about Karma deeply in an another post.

5. Chiththa Niyama

The nature of the mind is described in here. A thought can arise and die in a nano second. Also a thought can go far away of the universe within a nano second. In a moment we can only have single thought and two thoughts can not arise at the same time. Thoughts arise and die as a flow according to the environment and it keeps going without ending. We called this stream of thoughts as the mind. So arising and destruction of the thoughts is not controlled by anyone and it is a law of the universe.

Above Niyama Dharma can be combined. As an example, lets say a new born child gets his parents genetics according to the Beeja Niyama. But sometimes he can be blind due to his bad Karma in this Sansara. So Kamma Niyama also combined with the  Beeja Niyama in there.

Lets say a flood or a drought brings us the death or the sufferings and it is not the Karma. It is the Uthu NIyama. But sometimes, if we have most powerful Karma then we can overcome those. So there are variations.
