This is an interesting question. The Buddha did not teach that there is a Buddha nature, possibly because of this very question.

Later on, in Mahayana Buddhism, the concept of Buddha nature was invented.

Which 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. .

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.

How tall was Buddha?

No one is sure since the Buddha did not want his followers to erect any statues of him. Since he was born in Northern India / Nepal, you can assume he was about the same height as people there are now, which is somewhere near 5' 5" or so. But in the long term, why does it matter? Outside appearances indicate nothing as to the compassion and kindness that is within ones person.

Buddha or the Buddha - Which is the correct usage?

The Buddha would be the right way to say it. "The Buddha" is a title used in the same way as other titles such as "The President" or "The Pope" when referring to the individual by title and not by name.
