To the karmically arrived individual, Buddhism is a path and a portal that leads directly to the realization of Buddha mind essence: intrinsic awareness. The path as such is not a religion or a philosophy. It is simply living in awakened awareness.
Being Buddhist is taking refuge in the Three Jewels: the Buddha, the Dharma, and the noble Shanga. Buddha is your inherent awakened awareness. The Dharma is the inner wisdom teacher, the luminosity of this awareness. And the noble Shanga is the community of those sustaining recognition of the primal awareness of pure being.
From the path perspective, Buddhism is simply the praxis of presence, naked unelaborated awareness, involving no causality, the abode of all the buddhas of time past, time present and time future.
