Best Answer

For two reasons. First, The Buddha told us to take nothing on faith, not even his teachings. He told us to put all of his teachings to the test and if we found something was wrong to reject it. So far the Buddha has been correct in everything, even to the fact that he told us that even the smallest particles (atoms) decay and change. Quantum physics has postulated the same idea.

Secondly, what we Buddhists do all day is practiceputting his teachings into everything we do. It is a life commitment, not just so many hours of the day.
