Buddhism versus Advaita

[Guest guest]

The following letter was received. I'll forward responses to the author:

------------------------

 

Advaitists claim that there is a "Self" which is "absolute", but the

Buddhists deny any thing "absolute" therefore denying a "Self" but they

speak of "Buddha nature". However, both believe in Liberation or

Enlightenment so are they different Enlightenments (scince one says

"absolute" and the other doesnt), or are "Self" and "Buddha nature"

really

the same thing? I'm confused as to which path to follow if both are

really

different.

 

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
