So I have been looking into various Indian thought and these two schools caught my attention:

Advaita-Vedanta in Hiduism.
Way of The Buddha in Buddhism.

Are these ultimately the same teaching? Because both have, as I see:

Void - Brahman/Atman
Teaching of no-self - Non-dualism
Moksha - Knower/Known non-distinction realisation
Realization of No-Self - Liberation
Vanishing into the void - Becoming a Jivanmukti
No Reality - All is an Appearance
Suffering - Jiva
Ignorance - Maya

Also, I do have a question about enligthened people. How many were there from each tradition? Are there any I could look up lectures of right now and how do I know if they are enligthened?

Is it fair to say that Buddhism is just an "edgier" version of Advaita-Vedanta with its Void and Nothingness? Which one do I follow to know that I am not my mind but am Brahman or Void?

Do not quote me on these, I am merely learning and would appreciate recommendations.
