From "The Heart of Buddha's Teaching" by Thich Nhat Hanh
"Words and ideas are only useful if they are put into practice. When we stop discussing things and begin to realize the Dharma in our life, a moment comes when we realize that our life is the path, and we no longer rely merely on the forms of practice. Our action becomes "non-action", and our practice becomes "non-practice." We do not have to transcend the "world of dust" (saha) in order to go to some dust-free world (nirvana). Suffering and nirvana are one. If we throw away the dust, we have no nirvana."
