It's good that you reference Aquinas, who is probably the most 'buddhistic' of the mediaevals, excepting Eckhart, but I think it's difficult, though doable, to compare concepts from different cultures (what is called 'comparative theology' now) without falling into serious hermeneutic pitfalls. That said, I see the truth as "pluriform plurality," which is not to embrace relativism, but to assert that the single mysterious absolute (the Trinity for example, is a symbol of differentiated unity) is reached through a plurality of ways that are sui generis formulations of this mystery of being. The different traditions reach the same place through concepts that on the surface seem cogently equivalent, but are radically different in form and practice. This idea of non-relativistic plurality only really challenges the late modern tradition of kantian rationalism, which fails to justify itself before transcendental questioning, see pic related.
