One might say a persons many views turn into "understanding" through Dhamma practice. That understanding then starts liberating the mind. Dhamma principles center around mindfulness of the present moment, and Buddhism's views come from this observation. This question is loaded and is like asking a master carpender what his views are on carpentry. So no one can fully answer but I can cover the basics. 1. Is the observation of cause and effect, Kamma. Kamma simply put means that what you think, say, and do really makes a difference. The beginnings of Dhamma practice comes through self responsibility, and taking responsibility for our own happiness, and misery. 2. Is the observation of impermanence. If you focus on your mind, feelings, body, mental objects is always changing. As ones mind runs off to play with sights, sounds, ......etc. with mindful attention one can sober the mind to this impermanence. 3.Another observation is "not self" seeing through the illusion of a Big "I" behind all things. The "i" of seeing is the same as the "i" of thinking, the "i" of feeling is not the same as the "i" body parts. So this Big "I" breaks apart into streams of little "i"s arising and passing away every second. As the eight mindful steps of the Buddhas path begin to develop so does the powers of observation, insight, and views.

∙ 11y agoMany people in the world are not Buddhists, and hence they fail to investigate the rational behind this great doctorine. Many have other faiths which blocks and prevent them even reading the essence of Buddhism.
The buddhism put a great emphasis on an individual responsibility than an all mighty God for liberation of suffering. The individual is fully responsible for his own sins and actions, and not devis or unforseen force as taught by other religions.
The main thrust in the doctorine is the ANATHMA theory; It says that there is no permanant self as the entity self changes every fraction of a second, continuoulsy. The self is the real world mental agregates of the formation of the mind, thus everyone's understanding of world would be different. For example, colours we see and its understanding depends on the person, and it is a mental construct of the energies of the universe.
Buddism shows a way to control your own mind, and emphasis on focusing on your own actions than putting blame on others for your own mistakes.
As we make a magnet, by aligning and seperating positive and negative ions in a metal, Buddism shows how to stream line your neagtive thoughts and postive thoughts and destroying negative thoughts.
Human bings are special speicies in this world, who is equipped with ability to understand and expereince love better than animals. Buddhism elavate one's position in the society by good deeds accumulated in this life span.
This has a sharp contrast with other religions which advocates even killing in the name of their Gods.
