    Hermeticism is focused on purifying ourselves, so we may rejoin our divinity
    while training our Will in many sub-sytems. Buddhism is focused upon releasing
    us from the chains & imprisonment of 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.
    Feel free to post me privately if you need further clarification in this,

    Buddhism views desire as a bad thing? What is Hermeticism's view on
    desire? Does desire impede becoming pure which is a main goal of
    Hermeticism?
