    I read it.I want to know what is the actual reality of that object.Is it just an energy?or is it just me?

    well u may already have found an answer if u truly read it. i know u are not interested in reading it :)
    first of all this is not a strictly a buddhist question. almost all forms of idealism begin by trying to give an answer to the very same question be it buddhism or any other philosophy. to explain briefly u can either believe there's no external reality separate from ur observation or u can believe there's some form of reality out there but it's beyond all ur perceptions and reasoning. the choice is up to u. does it make sense to ask about a true reality when all we see and understand are mere illusions ?

    see this is the main problem with such philosophies. people expect coherent answers to questions like this from idealistic philosophies. questions like this have hundreds, if not thousands, of implicit assumptions which demand answers without which u cant even explain what the question really means.
    it cant answer questions like this. it's not even made to answer anything as complex as this just like particle physics can't answer consciousness even though u are made out of simple subatomic particles.
    what it aims to answer are more fundamental questions just like particle physics is made to explain simplest interactions among particles.

    Do you know how a camera works? That's exactly how it works with our senses too. When you take a photo of a chair, you call the result a 'photograph' of the chair. The physical chair exists. Who says it's not? If someone says so, its just bullshit. The chair exists and it is made of 'sathara maha bootha aka apo, thejo, wayo and patawi'. When we see it, we capture the details of it. Like the colour, the shape, the thickness, distance, etc etc. Like pixels. You may call it a bio-photograph if you'd like. Eyes, Ears, Nose, Tongue, Body, all can be thought of as capturing devices. Hope this makes sense

    If nothing is separate.If everything is an illusion including individual personality.Then if me no longer exists.Then it should be one

    The dream?if nothing is seprate the illusion or dream is one entity.If 5 skandas doesn't have it's own existance then how it was born.out of nothing?so it's all a dream empty.

    Our 'karma' is the creator of sathara maha bootha. Karma means 'Raaga', 'Dwesha' and 'Moha'. Where 'Karma' exists so does the sathara maha bootha. Thats what makes the re-birth possible. Where 'Karma' eliminates, so does the 'Sathara Maha Bootha'. Thats the one who attained the 'Arahath' hood.

    And "NO", sahara maha bootha does NOT have its own existance. Its the results of Raaga, Dwesha and Moha.

    'Illusion' is believing in something that doesn't really exists. A prime example is 'Pleasures' you seek from the outside world. For example, if you seek pleasure from some 'spa' woman, then that pleasure you feel is an 'illusion'. Is there an end to seeking pleasures from your eyes, ears, nose, tongue and body? No right. Thats the illusion. Seeking something that never gonna fulfill from the outside world.

    Can't answer that bro. Its not an 'empty' question but something that we should avoid trying to find answers to. Because it takes us nowhere. So instead of trying to find 'where raaga was born', I would put my focus on to see if I do have 'Raaga'. Do I have 'Dwesha' or 'Moha'. If I have, then whats good about it? Buddhism talks about those are bad but why? whats wrong with it? Is it that bad to have those? Where the problem is? Can I turn my back on everything I've heard and keep doing what I like? Does that serve me as I expect? If it is bad how to get rid of? etc etc. I ask myself. And I try to find answers to those.

    ඒ දේ පුටුවක් කියල අපි තෝරාගත්ත නිසා ඒක අපි පුටුවක් කියල දකිනවා. ඇත්තටම ඒක වෙන කෙනෙක්ට ලී ගොඩක් විදියට දකින්නත් පුළුවන්. රූපයකට නමක් දීල අපි. එතකොට ඇස් පේන්නේ නැති කෙනෙක්ට? එයාලට නොපෙනුනත් ඒ දේ දැනෙන විදියෙන් පුටුවක් කියලා ඉගෙන ගන්නවා. එතන ඉඳන් සදහටම ඒක එයාට පුටුවක්
