Bhagavan Buddha imparted nondualistic wisdom, whereas Buddhism encompasses a multitude of teachings. Bhagavan Buddha’s wisdom was lost because it was buried under the diverse teachings of Buddhism.

Buddhism has not proved the truth of Nonduality, whereas Bhagavan Buddha pointed out the unreality of the world, and he told people they were foolish to cling to it. But he stopped there. He came nearest to Advaita in speech, but not to Advaita fully.

Buddhism does not prove the truth of nonduality because they do not believe in the existence of the Soul. Without the existence of the Soul, talking of nonduality is like building a castle in the air.

Sage Sankara disagrees with Buddhists who say there is nothing - a nonentity. Sage Sankara believes there is some reality, even though things are not what they appear to be. If one knows the truth, they will know what to do to find inspiration for action. The seeker of truth‘s subject is to know what it is that is Real.

Buddhism says: all things are illusory and nothing exists. However, Advaita avers that it is not so. It says that the universe, of course, is illusory, but there is Brahman (consciousness) that exists, forming the very substratum of all things (illusion or universe).

Advaitic Sages disagree with Buddhists only on the ultimate question, but they agree with their idealism fully. ~Santthosh Kumaar
