The Buddhist principle is; desire for worldly things is the cause of human misery. So try and give up desires and live a simple life of a help ful person in the society. Try to part take in the troubles and sorrows of others and do your best to heal their wounds .This kind of life will give you peace and happiness.
The principles advocated are correct but when number of greedy people exceeds the good people Buddhas logic does not work.

If logic means the application of reason, Buddhism is not exactly logic because its laws of cause and effect are based on the interdependent origination theory that is at the heart of Buddhism.


If ethical or moral philosophy refers to the existence of principles that can be used to determine what is right and what is wrong. Buddhism is a very rich moral philosophy. Almost all Buddhist precepts, meditations and the Noble Eightfold path provide excellent ethical and moral principles for individual and social peace.
Buddhism has it's own unique beliefs about human beings. Studying, analyzing, criticizing, and applying Buddhism with other religions and schools of thought about philosophy and even modern science can be done properly under appropriate conditions. The core principles of Buddhism relate to the suffering and non-suffering of human being and reflect the universal common sense of human race.
Buddhism supports and encourages other religions and schools of thoughts and philosophy all over the world that have the same purpose and which work to support physical and spiritual well being for all human beings. The Buddha gave clear instructions to the monks: go to preach the noble way of life for benefit and happiness of many people. Securing the happiness of the many is the main purpose for all those who work in accordance with Buddhist ideals.
Buddhism can be thought of as philosophy or religion or simply as a way of life. Descriptions of Buddhism will necessarily depend upon the particular definitions used and interpretations made by various scholars who come from many different backgrounds. However, every scholar agrees that Buddhism strives to bring light to the darkness that surrounds all living creatures.

Decay is inherent in all compounded things, so continue in
workout your own salvation with diligence is the essence of
Buddhist logic. Atman is reborn as it moves, controlled by 'Karma as cause, toward freedom or salvation.' Buddha himself
changed his mind and said, There cannot be a soul, but only the
sequence of of one moment giving rise to the next, constituting
appearances with characteristic possibilites

The philosophy is based on the denial of God's existence! They worship statues and sometimes animals like cows as I heard.
