siddharta guatama preached two very important teachings
One being, the belief that pain and suffering is caused by desire and the second being the beleif that there was no creator god and that is a reason why people say Buddhism is an atheistic religion
Importance would be a viewpoint. Certainly, Buddhism is important to those living their lives in harmony with the teachings of the Buddha. And most people, not of the faith, feel that the teachings of Buddhists are a worthwhile way to live, a great example of self-sacrifice, or at the very least, a fascinating life choice.Whether or not that is important would be based on a person's point of view.
Buddhism is the most peaceful religion in the world.The teachings of Buddhism are philosophical and enlightening.
There are really only 2 distinct types of Buddhism, though there are subgroups to them. The two major groups are Theravada and Mahayana. Theravada is call the "teachings of the Elders" and is most closest to the original teachings of the Buddha. Mahayana incorporates teachings of later Buddhas and Bodisatvas into the Buddhas original teachings. All the differnt lineages of Buddhism fall within one of these two groups but all teachings agree as to what the Buddha taught and to what the objective of Buddhism is.
Buddhism grew from the teachings of Siddhartha Gautam, the Buddha (hence BUDDHism). Some of his main teachings were karma, the Four Noble Truths and the Eightfold Paths.
