I find some of this very similar to Heidegger, but it's hard for me to put it to words.
I'll try anyway.
I don't think Heidegger touched morality, but the idea that your character is in a way set in stone, fits with Heidegger's concept of "them" as in, you are most of the time the "them" in sentences like "Well, they say that you should do such and such". You will act accordingly to your surroundings, the people, the field you inhabit. You can only rise from this through authentic moments, which are brief revelations of your deepest character and they will fade away as quickly as they come. And these moments are both compassionate and harmful, they aren't moral descriptors exactly, just the deepest part of your self that reveal themselves every now and then.

If I made mistakes, please point them out (all of you that are familiar with Heidegger), I am trying to get back on my reading. And please post cute pics of Heidegger with his little cap on, I need to grow my collection.

The thing about Heidegger is pretty easy to understand once you grasp the fundamental concept of das-fuck-spoonfeeding-read-a-book-sein.

The type that keeps spamming these threads constantly. Hopefully it won't last as long as the Deleuze spam we had a while ago.

First of all, it's somewhat misleading calling the eastern tradition of thinking philosophy, as philosophy is a wholly unique form of western thought, based on a conception of metaphysics, namely as Being as beingly (Sein als seiendes) and the logic of the ground-sentence: Nihil es sine ratione.
Eastern thought doesn't follow this mode of thinking, therefore it is wrong to try and syncretize it under the western branch of philosophy, as we loose the uniqueness and fundamental experience of total Otherness.

If we follow Spengler, we could call eastern thought dead, as the culture which gave them birth have flowered and the metaphysical conceptions brought to the natural end of stillness.
