Buddhism attempted to shift the centre from the worship of God to the service of man. The Buddha was more keen about teaching a new sense of duty than about founding a new theory of the universe. He started a religion independent of dogma, sacrifice and sacrament. He made it clear that salvation does not depend on accepting doubtful dogma or doing deeds of darkness to appease an angry god. It depended on perfection of character and devotion to the good. With this message or morality and love, Buddhism addressed itself to kings, princes and Brahmins, as well as to the poor, the lowly and disinherited.
