Dharma, with a capital "D" usually refers to a (spiritual) teaching, and more often to the teachings of the Buddha. dharma with a small "d" can loosely be translated from Sanskrit as: "the way things are" or "reality."
Spiritual seekers meeting each other in India would ask, "Whose Dharma do you follow", as a way of asking whose teachings were followed.
The dharma of a thing is simply the way it is in reality.
