all buddhism is saying is nothing lasts, nothing is saved just enjoy the moment

But theres more than that in its philosophy. Many people have the perception that buddhism only state that life is suffering, then have negative impact on this teaching. Like nothing last forever, and its a very sad thing and so on.
However they dont know that Buddha taught us a way to end the suffering. Of course in this context its different from christianity which says the only way to end suffering is through jesus. Buddhism states very clearly that salvation is through ourselves and our own effort. We have a choice; to break free from endless cycle of birth or ruin ourselves within. This is freewill.
Youre right to say we should enjoy the moment, but a more likely term would be appreciate.

Don't forget the sufferings of the 6 realms of existence.
Practice hard and liberate from the cycle, and save all sentient beings.

If you cling to it, then it is sad. If you don't cling to it, then there is no sad.
Got it?

And thus we may undestand that even Dharma doesn't last and must change.

The dispension of Dharma doesn't last, while the nature of Dharma is always so.
