As a novice I am having difficulties with the notion of "illusion"
I am sure it does not mean that everything is illusionary in the sense of not existing , other than as a phantasm or delusion in the hardest possible sense. For example solipsists believe that nothing exists other than that produced by their brain.

If we look at 'illusion', it seems to me, we need a 'reality' upon which to relate it to and this requires value judgements.

I can see where Buddhism may be a good approach at the secular level; as for the 'reality' as opposed to 'illusion' is this a highly personal, intuitive groping towards some vague form of idealism? Thank you
