How does Freemasonry relate to the concepts of Rta and Dharma?
The term "Dharma working" designates a specific ritual variant of Craft Masonry adopted within Universal Co-Masonry under Annie Besant. Waite notes that while retaining the essential elements of Scottish Craft working, this ritual introduced several distinct modifications: altered circumambulations in the First Degree, five symbolic stages in the Second Degree dealing with labor, arts, sciences, humanities, and rest, a shortened obligation in the Third Degree, and revised prayers throughout the ceremonies. In 1908, a breakaway organization termed Ancient Masonry abandoned these Dharma workings to return to the Emulation working of Craft Masonry.

what is the difference between the emulation rite and the ancient scots rite in craft masonry
Emulation is a specific ceremonial ritual working used primarily within Craft Freemasonry and governed by Craft Grand Lodges such as the United Grand Lodge of England, whereas the Ancient and Accepted Rite—also known as the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite or Rose Croix—is an independent, separate Masonic Order consisting of 33 degrees governed by its own Supreme Council, as the Supreme Council 33° explains.
