佛陀以“四谛八正道”、“五蕴十二因缘”为核心，创立了“脱苦了生”的佛教，其核心思想是“缘起性空”论。缘起学说可以从人类的生成论与宇宙社会的的生成论两方面进行解释。原始佛教讲人类的缘起，主要立足于十二缘起学说。十二因缘果因相扣，逆顺攀援，在正智观下都归结为空。故十二因缘的佛法深义，其实是人的思想行为的自我因果关系对行为制造者的自我缠缚。为了进一步驳斥婆悉吒的种姓优劣神定的谬论，佛陀还用万法缘起而非神造的唯物论系统地讲述了宇宙万有和人类及人类家庭、私有制、社会、国家制度形成的历史过程。总而言之，佛陀以缘起学说阐述人类与宇宙的生成，有着浓重的唯物主义倾向。%Budda estabiished Buddahism for peopie to pass iifetime fuii of sufferings,focusing on“Aryastangika-ar-ga and Cattāri-ariya-saccāni”and“skanaha and dvadasˊānga-pratitya-samutpāda”,based mainiy on the theory of“dependent-arising and emptiness”. The theory of dependent-arising can be interpreted in both in human genera-tion theory and universe society generation theory. The expianation of human origins in primitive Buddahism is mainiy based on the theory of dvadasˊānga-pratitya-samutpāda,which can be reduced to emptiness. As a matter of fact, the profound teaching of dvada sˊānga-pratitya-samutpāda is of cause-resuit reiationship of human thoughts and behaviors forming a seif -constraint for the subject.
