In Buddhism, the application of theoretical concepts into practice is called the Way.
I want to start a discussion with the practice long ago I heard stories about the man who in his youth was an outstanding swimmer and in old age began to look for themselves the same exciting experience, how in his youth he had to swim. He decided to become a monk, thinking that subdue the wave of his mind as a young man conquered the ocean waves. He found a teacher, which have respect, took the vows and began to practice what it taught him a spiritual mentor. As often happens, meditation was not given to him easily, and he went for advice to the teacher. Wanting to watch him practice, the teacher invited the student to sit and meditate. Few watch, he noticed that an elderly swimmer tries too hard and asked him to relax. But it turned out that the swimmer was difficult to perform even this simple instruction. When he tried to relax his mind and body are inactive settled. If he tried to concentrate his mind and body were too tense.
