"From whatever new points of view the Buddha's system is tested with reference to its probability, it gives way on all sides, like the walls of a well, dug in sandy soil. It has, in fact, no foundation whatever to rest upon and hence the attempts to use it as a guide in the practical concerns of life are mere folly. Moreover Buddha, by propounding the three mutually contradicting systems, teaching respectively the reality of the external world, the reality of ideas only and general nothingness, has himself made it clear that he was a man given to make incoherent assertions or else that hatred of all beings induced him to propound absurd doctrines by accepting which they would become thoroughly confused…Buddha’s doctrine has to be entirely disregarded by all those who have a regard for their own happiness."

>any half decent source knows that the Upanishads predate buddhism
only 2~4 out of the 108 upanishads (and nearly half of the principle upanishads) predate Buddhism.

>why do so many buddhists on this board lack tolerance for other beliefs?
I doubt there are any practicing buddhists in this forum, its likely spiritual LARPism, just like the neo-vedantists who shitpost other beliefs when confronted with facts.

>I don't want to be the equivalent of a white Zen Buddhist.
You won't because Advaita isn't open to you, whiteboy. You might end up agreeing with him but you won't be an Advaitin unless you actually go to India and become an ascetic with a teacher(a form of asceticism that is more severe and Will to Power denying than Buddhist asceticism btw).

>hatred of all beings
C'mon Shankara, I consider you pretty based but this is clearly just a jab of ego. You're calling a man whose entire doctrine was taught for and exclusively around the elimination of suffering by sentient beings as a "hater of all beings"? When Buddha many times advocates for the radiation of love in all directions, having compassion for all creatures, he did so from this hatred of his? Clearly Shankara's ego bested him here.

"Śaṅkarācārya is undoubtedly one of the greatest philosophers of the world and a realised saint. He is gifted with extra-ordinary intelligence, a deeply penetrating mind, critical insight, logical reasoning, philosophical analysis, religious purity, sublimity of renunciation and profound spirituality. His literary excellence makes him shine as a writer of exemplary Sanskrit prose and soul-inspiring philosophico-religious verses."

You can still read him from the point of view of a scholar. To understand his arguments. And perhaps even to delude yourself into thinking you've experienced bliss and understod the true nature of reality which will make the Existential dread of the modern world disappear.
