Philosophical belief tells people they should live in harmony with nature?

According to The Buddha, we all are "buddha-nature." We are not separate selves apart from the rest of the world. Buddha-nature is Emptiness. In effect, this means that all individuals, whether human or not, are empty of separate substrata. Although the forms of different individuals are different, their essence is the same. If so, it follows that Buddha-nature is One in every individual. Ultimately, therefore, there is a deep identity between oneself and all other beings. Since nature is all beings, to live in harmony with nature is, ultimately, to live in harmony with oneself. .

Where in the Sutras does Buddha say that he was already a Buddha before he started meditating?

While I cannot give you a sutra, I can comment on the question. When Buddha says he was a buddha before he started meditating, what he means is his buddha-nature exists here and now. However, before he became enlightened, he had forgotten it. He was not aware of it. The mind created a fog, so that he could not see his buddha-nature. Meditation is the process of clearing the fog, so that you may remember (become conscious of) that which already is.

What does Buddha-natured mean?

Who is the father of Buddhism?

It would have been Abraham if he had recognized what God meant when he said his name is "I am." Otherwise, Buddhism does not have a patriarch. Your buddha nature is exactly the same as everyone else's buddha nature. Only the egoic, unawakened mind finds a construct like patriarchy useful. It has no relevance or meaning whatsoever to the awakened consciousness.
