Those two traditions are not necessarily in conflict. Note, for example, the writings of Thomas Merton. For an overview, see http://www.americamagazine.org/content/all-things/thomas-merton-and-dialogue-buddhism An interesting point in that article:
In his correspondence with Suzuki (the two finally met in New York in 1964), Merton refers to the doctrine of analogy in Aquinas by which it was just as legitimate, in one sense, to say of God that he is non-being as to affirm God is being, since God so transcends being as we know it that any attribution of being as we know it would mislead.
