The basic tenets for Hinduism is a belief in a Supreme God that expresses itself in manifestation just as the waves of an ocean express a part of the greater whole.

The Hindu believes that life is a progression through Evolution to that supreme source.

They believe in the basic principles of Karma and Reincarnation and uphold the moral and spiritual laws as expressed throughout other religions which have a spiritual basis.

The Hindu Tradition holds a variety of different belief systems and practices around the central theme of Spirituality and Worship.

Hinduism or Sanatana Dharma as its known in the East refers to the Eternal Laws as revealed by the ancient Rishis which help the devotee to reunite their baser self with the Pure Simplicity of Spirit.

By a close study of the science of Yoga one may understand and operate the natural laws of creation as expressed through the Hindu Tradition in order to advance ourselves and other both physically, mentally, and Spiritually.

Buddhism does not require faith in any tenets. Buddhism requires that you study it enough to understand what's being said, then (if any faith at all is required) that you try it in your own life and see if it works. Buddhism is built on direct experience, and with that experience comes improved understanding of the way things really work. Once you have improved understanding, your life goes more smoothly, so you have evidence that this new view of things is beneficial.

We sometimes see the word "faith" used in translations of what the Buddha taught, and it usually is stated there as having faith in the Buddha, the Dharma (the teachings), and the Sangha (the community of followers). But here again, this is not about faith in the tenets of Buddhism. This sort of faith is required when one begins to practice, and finds the practice is darned hard work. (Buddhism does require serious effort.) This is when faith in the Buddha, his teachings, and those who also practice can help. But you know what's funny about that? I don't think it's really faith in Buddha, dharma, sangha that you're exercising there so much as faith in yourself -- that you can do the work.

Tenets of Judaism The philosophy of Judaism is that this world is a purposeful creation by God, in which all people are tested concerning their use of free-will. We possess a soul which lives on after the body dies and is held responsible for the person's actions. Anyone who is worthy, Jewish or not, can merit reward in the afterlife.
Here is a list of the most basic beliefs of Judaism, as codified by Maimonides:
1. God exists, and is the Creator.
This tells us that the world is not purposeless or chaotic. Life is the result of a deliberate, purposeful, intelligent and kind Creator; not a melancholy chaos or a string of fortuitous accidents.
2. God is One and unique.
This is the basis of all Western monotheistic belief, which was given to the world by Abraham and his descendants. This belief places God at the center of reality and the center of our world-outlook and thoughts. (See: Biography of Abraham)
3. God is not physical.
This includes the corollary that no person should be worshiped as God or as a god. Judaism has no god-kings, no demigods, no angel who flouts God's will, and no sports-idols, movie-idols etc.
4. God is eternal.
This includes the belief that God's ways are also eternal. God is not capricious, forgetful or fickle. Investing in a relationship with God is the only thing that will bear eternal benefits.
5. Prayer is to be directed only to God.
This also teaches us that no person, government or institution is to be accorded blind trust. We pray directly to God, three times a day; and we recount our shortcomings, ask for our needs, and acknowledge our successes with happy thanks.
6. The words of the prophets are true.
The prophecies of the Hebrew Bible have been coming true throughout history. Even secular archaeologists (the unbiased ones) have stated that the Hebrew Bible is the most accurate of historical records, as the disdainful theories of Wellhausen and Bible-critics of his ilk have been shattered by the archaeologist's spade. A list of Bible verses which were deemed anachronistic but later shown to be perfectly accurate would run into the many hundreds. (See: Archaeology and Bible-critics)
7. The prophecies of Moses are true; and he was the greatest prophet.
8. The Torah was given to Moses by God.
These two beliefs are the basis of our attitude towards the Torah: it is the center of our lives. Jews are keeping mitzvot (commands), saying blessings, praying, learning Torah and doing acts of kindness and charity all the time. The Torah is the single greatest thing that a Jew has; given to us to provide knowledge, guidance, inspiration, awe and reverence, advice, law, comfort, history and more. It is the basis of Judaism.
9. There will be no other Torah.
We Jews have been around for 3800 years. New fads, manifestos, beliefs or lifestyles which rear their heads are met by the Jew with a calm, seasoned eye and the proverbial grain of salt. The Torah doesn't change; and every new thing can be measured against the Torah's standards.
10. God knows the thoughts and deeds of all.
11. God rewards the good and punishes the wicked.
These two beliefs provide a vast incentive towards righteousness and, when needed, repentance.
They also form part of the basis of our belief in the afterlife, since this entire world wouldn't be enough to reward a Moses or punish a Hitler.
God is just (Deuteronomy 32:4); and all outstanding accounts are settled after this life.
12. The Messiah will come.
13. The dead will be resurrected.
Judaism is the only ancient religion which taught optimism; and a large part of that optimism was and is based upon the words of the prophets.See also:

An almost universal tenet of religions is the need for ethical behaviour. This can be summarised as the Golden Rule, "Do unto others as you want others to do unto you," or as the Silver Rule, "Do not do unto others what you would not want others to do unto you."

Everything else is secondary:

  • Some religions are monotheistic, some are polytheistic, some are merely spiritual, and so on.
  • Many religions tell us how the world was created, but with differences from one tradition to another.
  • Deism stands alone, at least among modern religions, because it holds that the world was created by the Abrahamic God, but that he takes no further part in his creation and offers no reward after death.

What does major tenets mean?

It means the most important beliefs of, in this case, Buddhism. Buddhism isn't really about "beliefs" it's about insights into the way the world works that you can see for yourself, but you do have to take a little step on "faith" to test its tenets and try them for yourself. The Four Noble Truths are probably the most basic tenets: That every being that can suffer does suffer at some point and in some ways, that we humans cause our own suffering, that the cause of our suffering is clinging (to a wide variety of things, most notably mistaken beliefs), and that the practice described by the Buddha (known as the 8-fold path) is the way to end the clinging and therefore the suffering. Other major tenets of Buddhism is that all things are interrelated = nothing stands alone; and that nothing lasts forever.
