All authentic traditions climb the same mountain.

Not really.
Taoism seeks union with the Tao
Buddhism seeks Nirvana
Hinduism seeks Moksha with Brahman
Christianity seeks Contemplation or Theosis
The Tao is indescribable, it is all and both isn't all (even what i describe right now isn't the real Tao)
Nirvana is neither existence nor non-existence
Brahman is God/All
Contemplation is a state that God allows to happen and Theosis is being in the presence of God, not union witb him
As you can see it sounds similar but the Goals are different, if you say Nirvana=Tao then you don't mean the real Tao, if you Say Brahman is Nirvana that'd mean Brahman is neither existence nor non-existence when it is the truest form of Existing

>Buddhism seeks Nirvana

Not necessarily.

>Nirvana is neither existence nor non-existence

What an odd interpretation.

Clearly you've never studied Buddhism. It goes right along with Madhyamaka/Middle Way philosophy

I have, that's why it's really weird to present such a narrow interpretation as representative of Buddhism, bucko.

Sure, sure. What is your understanding of nirvana then?
