The Dharma Initiative, also written DHARMA (Department of Heuristics and Research on Material Applications[1]), is a research project. It was introduced in 1970. In 2008, the Dharma Initiative website was launched.[2] Dharma's interests were directly connected with fringe science. Dharma is a Sanskrit term used in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism. The logo is a circle with the word "dharma" inside, all inscribed inside a bagua.

Some history: In 1977, the Dharma workers based on the Island drilled into a huge electromagnetic pocket, releasing a catastrophically dangerous amount of electromagnetic energy. This is referred to as "the Incident" and is frequently alluded to in other Dharma Initiative sources. Radzinsky insisted on drilling despite warnings from Dr. Chang about the danger. In the Swan Station orientation film, recorded in 1980, Dr. Marvin Candle insists that the computer at the Swan Station not be used for any other purpose, specifically to communicate with other stations. The Dharma Initiative's survivors left the island and were rescued in LA((LS)). Here they settled down with all their secrets kept to themselves and reappeared as a Medical and Fire Department Department. They still work on the the energy they found, after a few years the TDI found a pocket of energy in the area of El Castillo Del Diablo.

After the 'Incident' the Dharma's superior survivor "Alexandra Rousseau" became the leader. The Dharma still stays at the Sea Side at Santa Maria Beach to check the nearby islands that might be there.
