What is the difference between Advaita Vedanta and Buddhism?
That's helpful. How do their practices differ?
Advaita Vedanta places a strong emphasis on meditation and self-inquiry as the means to realize the true nature of reality. Buddhism also places a strong emphasis on meditation, but its practices also include the Four Noble Truths, the Eightfold Path, and other ethical and meditative teachings. Additionally, Advaita Vedanta recognizes the existence of gods and other divine beings, while Buddhism generally does not.
