The Hennayana Tradition and the Mahayana Tradition
Buddhist tradition developed the Bodhisattva ideal which is this idea that compassion like must be integral to enlightenment. One without any kind of pro-social behavior or compassion or whatever seems to be lacking I think that's partly because again if you think that the shift between looking at ourselves and remember when I said earlier it's easier to look at other people and see. So many of us would kind of want to do that but most people might think they're not really doing anything to help anyone else. It feels like there's something more admirable in heroic political and military figures and social activists and stuff like that.
