Common Misconceptions About Advaita Clarified
Misconception 4: "Advaita and Buddhism are the same"
FALSE. While both are non-dualistic, Buddhist Shunyata (emptiness—no inherent existence) differs from Advaitic Brahman (fullness—pure consciousness as ground). Buddhist anatman negates permanent self; Advaitic Atman affirms true Self as Brahman. Buddhist path emphasizes purification; Advaita emphasizes recognition of what already IS.
