"To call something a 'fundamental principle of Buddhism' is only correct if, first, it is a principle that aims at the quenching of dukkha (pain, misery, suffering) and, second, it has a logic that one can see for oneself without having to believe others."
Buddhadasa Bhikkhu. “Heartwood of the Bodhi Tree - The Buddha's Teachings on Voidness.” Wisdom, 1994.
“The Buddhist premise is that by reflecting, by contemplating, and by understanding the common human experience (of suffering), we can transcend all the mental delusions that create human suffering.”
Ajahn Sumedho. “The Mind and the Way. Buddhist Reflections on Life.” Wisdom, 1995.
