When People ask me What is Buddhism Can anyone give me a short, simple answer to explain please

So I am into buddha learning for some years now, and some people ask me " **What is Buddhism**" , with a blank look on their face. Based on their level of experience, which is pretty much zero yet with genuine wonderment, I have tailored my answer to what I consider the best at that time. I have, over the years, delivered the following answers: "*Buddhism is about raising your level of awareness*." Does anyone have any suggestions on how to say or explain also, " *Learning about the Buddha is about studying sutra, or the sacred texts, and then doing your best to live the sutras*." and this one too, " *The Buddha taught that he got there and being a human being, as you are a human being, you can also follow this path should you choose*. " I am seeking further answers to this genuine question honest people ask me.
