[quote]I beleive that reality isent real.[/quote] Are you a solipsist?
Teachers of Zen allegedly used to have a technique for dealing with students who make claims like "reality isn't real." They would take a bamboo stick and tap the student on the head with the bamboo while asking the student to deny the bamboo stick.
Anyway, I agree with you that there's great beauty in our existence.

When the Japanese zen guy Dogen was in China he was meditating in a monastery when the guy beside him slumped forward. The Master gave him a good wack with his stick and shouted out:- "How dare you sleep when seeking to drop body and mind!"
Dogen had a moment of deep insight.
How on earth can Reality be unreal?
