A. There is a saying that a good thought is not as good as no thought. The Buddha means the state free from all discriminations, illusions. In that state even a thought, good and holy, or bad and mundane, is an illusion which defiles the state because it makes the Buddha that is Oneness into many that means illusions.
The thought of the Buddha, for instance, breaks Oneness into two; the Buddha and the rest that is not the Buddha. The moment Oneness breaks into two, the Buddha turns into illusions. This is why even the idea of the Buddha is wrong.
