From my pleasure reading (THe Jew in the Lotus, Rodger Kamenetz, p.140)
"For example, the philosophy of Maimonides is extremely similar to Buddhist philosophy."
It really is everywhere. Maybe I was right, back in high school, that I really needed to play with Medieval Jewish texts, etc.

Traditionally someone who commits suicide consciously cannot be buried in a Jewish cemetary- but rabbis have a custom of trying their best to rule that the person who committed suicide wasn't in zir right mind at the time, and therefore can't be blamed for it- and therefore can be buried with other Jews. Severe pain, depression, etc all are reasons to say someone wasn't sane at the time of suicide, generally. I'm not sure the reasoning exactly, but well- that's what I know.
