They do not "worship" in the Isla-Judeo-Christian sense.
A few basic beliefs:
Buddha was simply a man, not a deity.
Buddha achieved enlightenment, or a spiritual understanding of the nature of reality.
Four basic Tenets of Buddhism (Four Noble Truths)
1) Buddhists belief the nature of life is suffering.
2) Suffering is a result of desire, ignorance and hatred.
3) It is possible to end suffering
4) By following the teachings of Buddha (the Eightfold Path) this will be achieved
Buddhism never denies that there are gods. Similarly Buddhism gas no stance on the creation of of universe. Siddhartha Gautama (founder of buddhism) doesnt find worshipping god as man's main problem as they should focus on washing their sins by paying their karma by doing good deeds. he does not want people to constantly expecting god to fix everything as god will not do it. karma, sins, and reincarnation are part of universe and something all man have to go through. Neither does he expect his followers to worship buddha himself as it is unecessary in obtaining a happy and meaningful life.
