Buddha taught that what you eat and how you speak can impact our health, however it cannot remove old conditioning. In Buddha's time there were yogi's that starved themselves because they thought that the body was holding them back from attaining union with God and heaven.
Buddha tried this method and found it wasn't the body that held him back, it was his mental conditioning, his blind beliefs. His teachings are related with purifying the mind and letting go of old conditioning.
The only way to control lust is to remove the cause of lust and greed. The cause of lust and greed is our old conditioning of clinging to things as me and mine. The meditation techniques are used to purify the mind...the mind is what drives the body.
means there are differences in addition there are similarities with Sufi teachings, but the goal remains the same that purify the soul, thanks for your explanation my best friend
