What are the differences between Advaita Vedanta and Mahayana Buddhism?

Question

I have read the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advaita_Vedanta

If I am understanding this properly; the main philosophical difference is in the concept of how maya is created. In Buddhism it is though the process of dependent origination and attachment that maya is created. In Advaita Vedanta; maya is a direct consequence of emanation from Brahman. Is this correct?

Can someone with a deep grounding in these studies please help me, or refer me to a source?

Thank You.

I also found this which seems to explain it as a matter of perspective.
