Buddhism illusion

Some interpretations of Buddhism teach that reality is a coin with two sides: the not-permanent characteristic or anicca and the not-self characteristic or anatta, referred to as emptiness in some Mahayana schools. An illusion (màyà) is something false or without real existence. Some misinformed people believe that the Buddha taught that everything is an illusion created by the mind and that nothing really exists.

In Buddhism the concept led to the notion of emptiness of things and in Hinduism to the notion of Brahman as the only absolute and eternal reality that exists beyond all names and forms. Buddhism invites us to look closely to see how things really are.

From an ordinary point of view things seem. The following clip is. Using the analogy of a person with cataracts who sees the illusion of haloes around lights at night, the Buddha says that we have mistaken a thief for our own son.

When later asked why, he said that to hold either that there is a self or that there is no self is to fall into extreme forms of wrong view that make the path of Buddhist practice impossible. In this view, even to reflect on the question of whether one has or does not have a self leads to identification with a self, or perhaps an identification with nihilism. An awakened person would drink in their perceptions as pure experience without interpretation and therefore no illusion. Even if you are aware your perceptions are limited samplings of this environment this is still not an awakened state of no illusion and I cant explain why because words fail to touch that state of being.

Spiritual practice involves rolling up all the illusions one by one until there is no activity and our soul is no longer distracted. Rather like Zen Buddhism I suppose, but not originally a Buddhist idea. It is a giant illusion in itself, where our egos grow in strength, experience emotions and where we assume one thing for another and suffer from confusion, delusion and emotional turmoil.
