When we study Buddhism we are studying ourselves – learning about the nature of our own minds. The focus is not on something paramount; it is on simple & everyday things like how to live our lives and how to manage daily challenges so that the mind remains calm and healthy. Having said that, the emphasis is on experiential knowledge-wisdom, not dogmatic views. Adapted in Western terminology one could say that Buddhism is not a religion, but rather a practical philosophy, science or psychology.

“Wisdom springs from meditation; without meditation wisdom wanes. Having known these two paths of progress and decline, let a man so conduct himself that his wisdom may increase.”
― Dhammapada 282

“All mental phenomena have mind as their forerunner. The mind is their leader. They are all mind-made. If one speaks or acts with a pure mind, happiness follows him like his shadow that never leaves him.”
Dhammapada 2
“He who is not credulous, who has realised the Unconditioned, who has cut off the links of the round of rebirths, who has destroyed all causes (of good and bad karma) and has discarded all craving, is indeed the noblest of all men.”
Dhammapada 97
“Do not associate with evil companions. Do not seek the fellowship of the vile. Associate with good friends. Seek the company of noble people.”
Dhammapada 78
