"In general, all Buddha's teachings, the Dharma, are very precious, but Kadam Dharma or Lamrim is a very special Buddhadharma that is suitable for everyone without exception. A great master said "Kadam Dharma is like a mala made of gold". Just as everyone, even those who do not use a mala (or prayer beads) would be happy to accept a gift of a gold mala because it is made of gold, in a similar way, everyone, even non-Buddhists, can receive benefit from Kadam Dharma. This is is because there is no difference between Kadam Dharma and people's everyday experiences...Everyone needs it to make their lives happy and meaningful, to solve their problems temporarily, and to enable them ultimately to find pure and everlasting happiness through controlling their anger, attachment, jealousy, and especially ignorance." - from Modern Buddhism, page 22-23, by Geshe Kelsang Gyatso.
