Start meditating every day: do anapanasati and metta. These are neutral practices common to many religions - they are at least 2500 years old, here you trust not Buddha, but the experience of humanity.

You don't need to trust Buddha - he asks you to check, find out FROM YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE: how happiness arises and how happiness disappears, how suffering arises and how suffering disappears.

That's it. If you understand how - you will understand why Buddha is cool.
