Hi ED. As I have not rested yet in complete awakening, I cannot answer your
question. I would like to reiterate that the proponents of Advaita Vedanta, Zen
Buddhism and Kashmir Shaivism do end up with real differences of opinion on
various matters. There is a dialogue going on between the Kyoto school of Zen
and Advaita Vedanta and between Advaita Vedanta and Kashmir Shaivism. There are
plenty of articles online about this. You tell me.
