True, also in some Soto Zen traditions there is the illusion that through Zazen we can reach an ultimate realm a kind of Atman. It that is your quest hinduism is right for you. If your quest is about Dukkha hinduism is not the correct choice.

You refer to that conviction within Soto Zen traditions it as an illusion? They would say the same of Dukka hinduism.

No, I am not a Hindu. In fact I am not attached to any particular religion, philosophy, path, etc. I just think its important to remind people that one person's illusion is another person's truth, which shows that ultimately all "knowledge" gained through contemplation, introspection, meditation is relative and subjective.
