Buddhism is just an incomplete version of Gnosticism.
It is very much the result of a blind man briefly touching a single part of an elephant and assuming that is all there was to the animal. Judging an entire image off of a single pixel. A solipsistic focus upon the symptoms, rather then the underlying disease.

Gnosticism is about escaping the prison. Buddhism is just trying to avoid wearing the prison uniform.

I specifically included a text that deals with the theological side of Stoicism, rather then the more ethics and lifestyle works that people generally think of. The reason for this is because I think it is fair assume that Stoic theological concepts such as reincarnation, the pneuma, logos spermatikos and the inevitability of suffering in this material world are all concepts that likely contributed to the development of proto-Gnosticism.
