Are there any similarities between stoicism and Buddhism or asian philosophy in general?

Been reading Marcus Aurelius and Seneca and I'm pretty ignorant about asian philosophy in general but somehow stoicism seems to resemble something Buddha would say, although I can't quite put my finger on it. One thing that comes to mind is accepting your circumstances and being content with how things are, although the flavor of it is very different, with Buddhism having the idea of reincarnation and stoicism believen in predestination.

Also been reading Confucius. At least Aurelius is also about doing your best and serving your society without aiming for glory and riches, Confucius has something similar but while stoicism is about finding content for yourself, Cofucius is more about being humble and honorable so other citizens can trust you and see that you are a good person, so society works more efficiently.

Probably saying things out of my ass, not very deep into my studies yet but what do you guys think?

I think the Buddhist idea of limiting your attachment and unnecessary desires works well with the Stoics’ focus on spheres of control. Both have a theme of 'letting some things go'. High, unrealistic expectations of control and high, unrealistic or unnecessary desires for comfort or affluence both lead to unhappiness. 

I can't lay it all out academically, but there are some very similar themes/complementary tools laid out between Nietzsche, Buddhism, Stoicism, and CBT/DBT/Logotherapy. It's a fun ride.
