In the Buddhist teaching the sequence of practice comes firstly from right understanding then follows by thought, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness and finally concentration. This is called the right eightfold paths. The two ways of practising is through meditation and chanting daily to have deep realization and insight knowledge of life.
This is a simple teaching of my Heavenly Teacher JiGong:
?Life (human existence) is impermanent. The impermanent world is just an illusory flower and a false scene. We must be able to disillusion with (see through) the impermanence and see through this dream. Disciples! If you are trapped within this illusory flower and false scene and stay unawake from the Dream, you will be dragged along by the destiny for the whole life, and your mind will not be able to turn the situations around you. Hence, the value of life is to seek a permanent home to return to.
And a life of the True, the Good and the Beautiful is one where you must be able to apply your marvelous wisdom to explore fully the impermanence of life; and not only to chase after the beautiful scenes before your eyes.
