<<what is the basis for humanity? >> The basis is the primordial ground of being - a magic mirror  from which everything appears botj enlightenment and confusion. Buddha
nature and humanity.
<<why does humankind exist>> It exists through the confused
delusion,  grasping at what is not real as real, through error, through rampant greed, hate and delusion.
