how to reference a view in content?

I tried to post this yesterday but don't see it, so apologies if this is double posted any where.

I've created a view that grabs the title and date of 5 most recent blog posts. It works beautifully as a page, but I want to grab just the bulleted list and display it within some other content (but not in a block, which would require building a lot of other block zones and blocks for the content that surrounds it).

How can I reference the view?

Right now in the content, where I've created a special zone that executes php, this string is working:

print "hello world test!";

So I am hoping someone can tell me to use something like:

print "whatever goes here that references the view";

Does anyone know the answer?
