I think they both actually are tyring to say the same thing.
I'm not expert but some the LoA info states one must also allow that which you desire. Also the Buddhist idea is to not be attached to your desires but they don't directly say you can't have desires (I think) - it's the attachment to desires that feed suffering.
It is funny, I've heard in the LoA stuff "we'd manifest imediatly if we had infinte patients" or "we can get whatever we want, as long as you don't want it" And also in Buddhist stuff - "attachment is the cause of suffering, even the attachment to not wanting to be attached to desires can cause suffering" (or something like that)
