Buddhism and Advaita

[Dean Michael Anderson]

Here is the resent message with the correct subject header:
I was sent this email and it's outside my area of focus by about 1000-2000 years so I thought I'd pass on the request. 
Of course, the questioner seems to have some misunderstandings about the nature of the Vedanta-Buddhist dialog over the centuries but I'm sure y'all or your sources will deal with that.
Best,
Dean
