That is the question that keeps me wondering about life.

Buddha concluded that the self is an illusion. Quite liberating.



But what is the point of liberating an illusion. Ah yes, points are
also an illusion :) This illusion is feeling liberated already.


There ya go. Our arms too short to play gotcha with Buddha-mon.

The illusory self is not being liberated, it is being shed. What remains is Buddha nature, aka "big mind". Pure awareness and compassion. Non-discriminating. No attachments. Just sit.
