Illusion

Redirected from Maya

An analogy used to describe the appearances of superficial true phenomena in the Mahayana systems – like illusions, they appear to be true, but they do not correspond to how things actually exist. Nevertheless, unlike illusions, they function in terms of cause and effect.
