Tenet

It is necessary for every person who stands for progress to criticise every tenet of old beliefs.

Zen Buddhism is also called "Buddha's mind school" because of its basic tenet of transmitting the mind of Buddha directly from teacher to student without relying on writings or sutras.

The oneness of God is the most central tenet in Islam.

The Buddhist concept of tanha, for example — roughly translated as “blind demandingness” — encapsulates many tenets of R.E.B.T. and points the way toward emotional equanimity: stop asking more of the universe than it can possibly deliver.

Opposition to climate science has become not just the badge of honour for far-right politicians like Ukip’s Paul Nuttall. It has become the central tenet of their appeal to unreason.
