Hebraic - of, relating to, or characteristic of the Hebrews or their language or culture, especially the Jews of ancient Israel
Buddhist - philosophical tradition that originated in India and is based on the teachings of the Buddha ... Buddhists believe that everything in life is impermanent and constantly changing
Personally, I see a close connection of the Hebrewism of ancient Israel to the teachings of Buddhism ... The truth that suffering exists, it has a cause, and it has an end, and there is a path to end it.
The path consists of ideals for ethical conduct, mental discipline, and wisdom. The ideals are right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration. As taught by the Buddha, the Dharma, (the doctrine, or universal truth, that the Buddha proclaimed in his teachings and practices that help people cultivate an enlightened mind) ... through the practice of morality, meditation, and wisdom.
These same principles are taught through the Teachings of Abraham and the Kabbalah. The teachings found in the stories of Abraham the Hebrew, in the Bible, shows that people can make the world a better place by connecting with Elohim (the Powers) of the Universe (YHWH), listening to the message receive, and then taking the proper actions through applied wisdom.
As I see it, the teachings of Abraham the Hebrew can best be understood by studying the teachings of Baruch Spinoza. "A free man thinks of death least of all things, and his wisdom is a meditation not of death but of life."; "Emotion, which is suffering, ceases to be suffering as soon as we form a clear and precise picture of it." - Baruch Spinoza, Ethics
