“Dhamma” or Buddhist teachings and rules are taken as the sole guides to a way of achieving true wisdom, compassion and freedom from suffering. The Buddha told his disciples to follow his Dhamma not the leader after his death.
All teachings and rules such as mindfulness meditation are means to awakening us, to know ourselves, understand the truth of life and finally let go of all suffering in order to gain true happiness or enter into nirvana.
Dhamma is Universal as it is the Law of Nature hence it is suitable for all practices.
