Buddhism : 

Buddhism is not a doctrine or belief system but a process of observation, introspection and self-inquiry. Any preconceived faith or belief is detrimental to objective inquiry. Hence the Buddha advised us not to accept even his ideas until we acquire ownership of the same through self-investigation.

The Buddha observed that human plight is like that of a man shot with an arrow. He requires immediate mitigation of suffering and cure instead of investigation on who has shot the arrow and why. Hence he is silent on the theory of creation or God. Buddhism is a faith of the middle period in which we exist at present, and it attempts to annihilate the problem through a middle path.

Being awakened, the Buddha realised that we live in a perfect universe. We need to realise that, beyond all our judgements and worries, goals and expectations. The perfection of awakening or fulfilment already exists right now in this eternal moment. But our mind fails to accept the same due to preconceived image of how things should be. This bias prevents us from accepting reality and truth as wonderful. The remedy is pure awareness.
