We generally think of the fundamental teachings of Buddhism to be the four noble truths. These ideas would be taught to and understood by most people who regard themselves as Buddhist:
1.The truth of suffering, where we are now
2.The truth regarding the beginning or origin of suffering
3.The truth connected to the cessation of suffering
4.The truth of an end to suffering through an eight fold path
You might like to think of the teachings as embracing the concept of cause and effect.
