I didn't mean to imply they are saying exactly the same thing, but that they are complimentary and this is shown in Schopenhauer. The world of appearances is transient and illusory, but behind the appearances lies the Will. And this Will is objectified into different Platonic Ideas which are outside time and space and are the patterns of everything that we could ever experience (hence Plato). But again, if we are to renounce the Will as both the Buddhists and Plato tell us to, Schopenhauer argues that:
>"to those in whom the will to live has turned and has denied itself, this very real world of ours, with all its suns and Milky Ways, is — nothing. This is also the Prajna–Paramita of the Buddhists, the 'beyond all knowledge,' in other words, the point where subject and object no longer exist."
