In the West the closest concept to dharma is grace, the loving presence of God that keeps humanity under divine protection. When Jesus spoke of God seeing the fall of a sparrow, he was referring to dharma. In China the same concept emerged as Tao, or "the Way," which was seen as an invisible but real power that organizes all life. Being in tune with "the Way" is the same as living within dharma.
