Abstract
For countless generations, humans have shown an inescapable thirst for material, social, and political perfection. Many modern heroes fulfill these wants through the glory of their physical risk and victories. But there is another type of hero: the kind that does not care about being viewed as ideal but focuses on their bliss, calling, and unbreakable contentedness. This hero, the Buddhist hero, takes risks and experiences victory internally and religiously.
