The Veil of Maya

The Veil of Maya

The "Veil of Maya" originates from Hindu and Buddhist philosophy and refers to the deceptive, illusory world of appearances. In Hinduism, "Maya" is often associated with the goddess who creates the illusion that the phenomenal world we see is real. In Buddhism, the concept is tied to the idea that our perceptions of the world are not the ultimate reality, but rather a deceptive overlay that prevents us from seeing the Truth.
