This work aims at investigating the concept of the Buddhist stillness within the scope of Arthur Schopenhauer's philosophy in order to understand how this stillness reflects the flash of Orientalism in the Schopenhauerian thought, starting mainly from the Buddhist teachings of dharma, which establishes an intertextuality with the German philosopher. From this point of view, this paper focuses on understanding the relationship in the philosophical concept of stillness with the negation of the Will to life. To do so, the methodological path which is used here went, initially, through an analysis of the systematization in the Schopenhaurian philosophy, specially when it comes to the criticism on Kantian philosophy, as well as the Schopenhauerian concepts of Will and Representation. Subsequently, it is shown what are specifically the Eastern premises presented in the debate developed by Schopenhauer and how the former ones contributed to the origins of the latter ones, highliting, then, the Orientalism as the philosophical beam in Schopenhauerian, as well as the Buddhist stillness as soteriological balm to reach enlightment. Finally, this work dwells on the notion of compassion, seen as the rudiments in the Schopenhauerian moral. Therefore, it is possible to understand that an Eastern imaginary emerges from the Schopenhauerian philosophy, although as in the sense of a developing authentic and independent thought, that has been brought from Kantian teachings to the Eastern mystical doctrines.
