    Well Alchemic Hermeticism (Rosey Cross School at least), espouses something
    akin to the Buddhasitva Oath, that is often called Making the World Gold, or
    The Great Elevation which will end suffering, but as you say, through a
    radically different means.
    Evola wrote a book about Buddhism that is very good, and Crowley's teacher Alan
    Benet founded the British Buddhist Society, so this hybrid of both Buddhism &
    Hermeticism at least dates to the Edwardian Age. Bardon seems very familiar
    with much of Tibetian Theory, likely Evens-Wentz as well.

    Serpentis Satori,

    Thank you for your reply. I understood what you said. From my
    understanding Hermeticism doesn't espouse Buddhism's goal of non-
    existence and non-involvement which I ultimately see as also serving
    the purpose of the cessationg of suffering though through a
    different outlook or goal.

    Thank you again for your reply.

    Ignorance so we will cease incarnation. These goals only
    supperficially contradict each other.
    > Hermeticism often sees The Will, as the only other Absolute
    after The Creator/The Divine, and so it is spoken of in similar
    reverance. This is the Arete of Homer, The True Will of Crowley (of
    similar thought by Bardon check the list archives!), and the Purpose
    of Matrix:Reloaded. The entire Path of Hermeticism serves this end,
    every Grade Initiation or Exercise strengthen that, from Banishing
    Circle to Bornless One & Beyond.
    > Buddhism is as Evens-Wynz put it " the ethical system for the
    science of yoga", and is not so much about Refusing Desire, as it is
    about Release from Attachments, though Lust/Hunger is an Attachment.
    This is the Path to Enlightenment, the gradual freedom from
    attachment until one is Enlightened and no longer imprisoned by
    Ignorance.
    > These goals, though stated as different, can be complimentary
    and eventually I believe their will come greater synthesis between
    the Great Systems of the East and West. But to do that Hermeticism
    must be founded on truth, with Will and Evolution as its pillars.
    The complementary Buddhism is often Zen or Dzogchan, both focusing
    upon the Inherent Purity of all, but giving techniques to remember
    our perfection, much like Hermeticism.
