Maybe you don’t realize but this name is offensive to Buddhists...

It’s like an insurance company calling itself “Gospel”

[sus_007]

'Dharma' in Hinduism means 'Religion'. It's just a use case of the word, and as a Hindu, I don't find it offensive at all and I'm sure others feel the same.

Is that offensive? Doesn't seem like it to me.

Does “disrespectful” instead of “offensive” satisfy your need to play semantics?

What about it is disrespectful, and why should anyone care? It’s true that if you look hard enough, you’ll always find an offended party, but so what?

[yusee]

This is a successful global branding strategy...NOT!

[asdsa5325]

No, it doesn't, since I don't think it's disrespectful either.

Insurance would be fine (though Christians might suggest "Numbers" as a more accurate biblical name.)

I think as a business they'd have more of an objection to Christianity being associated with moneylending.

There are no buddhists in the US, so that's fine for now.
