The example I like to use is a tree. To a squirrel it is home. To a bird it is a place to rest. To an ant it is a huge thing to traverse. To an artist its a thing of beauty to draw. To a lumberjack it's an amount of wood worth money. To a book maker it's a huge amount of potential paper to make books with. To a person who's not bothered about trees it's big wood thing. Buddhism does not say that things don't exist at all, just not inherently as a thing. Each of these things are true, but only in how each creature perceives the tree. It is not inherently a home, a perch, a book, only the minds perceiving the tree make it those things. Does that help?
