The wise man knows nothing.
Mr. Siddharta was a wise man, therefore he knew nothing...lol
Yup, that's rrright, no more suffering.
It's all about knowing nothing...Life is really very simple, but men(monkeys) insist on making it complicated...Confucius.
LOL

ahh but the world is not an illusion,,, to treat it as such is to miss the beauty of living
ps: hmmmm, what exactly is the illusion part of it?
i am curious as to where your thoughts go with this, the illusion part,,,, just because i was somewhere before, perhaps i have been here before, and that i will go on to someplace else after this life on earth, doesnt mean that what it is right now, isnt real,,,,,

don't stand in the path of an illusionary train, or we will all hallucinate the same funeral for you. Some things must be treated as having greater reality than other things. Interesting paradox, no?

That is merely escapism, not wisdom.
