This is in refference to an independant self. The idea of "self" is a dream and is not real. I exsist because other thing exsist. There is no "me" by myself. If there was nothing else, there could not be a "me". This is what buddhists mean by no-self and and what your phrase is reffering to.

It's very true. The universe is an illusion of thoughts. Read up on creative visualization and find out how to be a programmer of our reality ; )

What he actually said was this:
He wrote in Dharma-Parda:
"All that we are is the result of what we have thought. It is founded upon our thoughts. It is made up of our thoughts."
Reality could be defined as "that which appears to be".
Reality is fundementally agreement. What we agree to be real is real.

They were the sayings of a spoiled rich prince who knew nothing of the world except people were old, sick, and dead.
