Tabula Rasa I, who according to his blurb has been a Catholic, an athiest, an evangelical Presbyterian, and again an athiest (around the theological block, as it were), expands on further religious analogies:

Heideggerian existentialism is essentially a monism. The contingency of being is set before us for consideration since we alone can reflect on this situation as Dasein--being reflecting on itself. There is no Creator God, or he is merely conspicuously absent (Deus absconditus). This is the same thesis proposed by the Gnostics and by the non-dual cosmology inherent in eastern tantric practice, such as Dzogchen.

I don't know about the connection with the Gnostics, but the presence of things in the Lichtung resonates with aspects of Dzogchen, a practice (path/weg) of Tibetan Buddhism.  ¶ 11:30 AM
