The DHARMA Initiative ( Department of Heuristics And Research on Material Applications Initiative) is a fictional research project featured in the American television series, Lost.
Most of what is currently known about the DHARMA Initiative comes from an orientation film, found inside an underground bunker on the island, that outlines the purpose and instructions for Station 3: The Swan. The film has a copyright date of 1980 and is designated as the third of six such films.
It states that the Initiative was founded in 1970 by University of Michigan doctoral candidates Karen and Gerald DeGroot and financed by the Hanso Foundation, apparently composed of a group of "scientists and free thinkers" from around the world who were brought together at a "large-scale communal research compound" on the island to conduct research in various disciplines, including meteorology, psychology, parapsychology, zoology, electromagnetism, and a sixth discipline that the film begins to identify as "utopian social . . . ." before being cut off.
The DHARMA Initiative has placed several research stations around the island, which take the form of hidden, underground facilities or bunkers. The first to be discovered by the survivors is "Station 3" or "The Swan" which they refer to informally as "the hatch" and have since occupied. Three additional stations have since been visited: "The Pearl," "The Arrow," and "The Staff."

Get the Dharmi mug.Any example (dubious or not) of Buddhist thought being infused into advertising or marketing language (and therefore pop/mass-culture). This can occur for sincere reasons, or for reasons based purely on co-optation. Phrase first uttered by Wisdom Publications editor Josh Bartok; defined and employed by Rod Meade Sperry, editor of a Buddhist pop- and subculture website.
Examples of a Dharma-Burger include: "Zen and the Art of Quilting" (book);
Ronald McDonald statues found in Thailand that portray Ronald with his hands held in the Buddhist gesture of gratitude; Buddhist deities found on album covers; the use of "karma" in all manner of advertising copy.

Get the Dharma-Burger mug.The offspring of a vampire and a human, a dhampir is generally portrayed as one with all or most powers of a vampire, with few to no disadvantages. This is sometimes reversed, depending on the context and writer.
In mythology, dhampirs often rejected their vampire blood and became extremely successful vampire hunters due to their advanced abilities. However, despite their help to the human race, they were continually rejected nonetheless because of their vampire blood. Thus, dhampirs most always spent their life as nomads, rejected by both humans and vampires--vampires due to weakness, humans due to fear of the dhampirs' strength.
This word was horribly butchered in the Vampire Hunter D movies, as the translation from the Japanese pronunciation 'danpuru' back to English spawned the word dunpeal.

Cursed to a life of solitude due to his being a dhampir, D rejected his name and adopted his pseudonym so he would not be associated with his cursed "father", the infamous Dracula.
