The revelation of Buddhism is in its practice

The Noble Eightfold Path, when interpreted dynamically as an autonomous process of progressive insight as Advayavada Buddhism does, is that of our very best (samyak, samma) comprehension or insight followed by our very best resolution or determination, our very best enunciation or definition of our intention, our very best disposition or frame of mind, our very best implementation or realization, our very best effort or commitment, our very best observation or reflection and self-correction, and our very best meditation or concentration towards samadhi, which brings us to a yet better comprehension or insight, and so forth. By following the Noble Eightfold Path thus you get in tune with overall existence advancing towards ever better than before and your sorrow and remorse immediately start disappearing. Adherence to the familiar Five Precepts and a well-considered understanding of the Four Signs of Being and the Four Noble Truths suffice to start off on the Path at any time. Nirvana is, in Advayavada Buddhism, the total extinction of existential suffering as a result of our complete reconciliation with reality as it truly is. The Path is, in other words, the sure road to enlightenment. (from http://www.euronet.nl/~advaya/index.htm)
