Spock Was A Buddhist



I realize that the creators of Star Trek didn't intend for Spock to be a Buddhist (at least not openly), but I think Spock display some Buddhist virtues:
  • Spock is concerned for the welfare of others over himself.
  • Spock, like all Vulcans, is concerned with training and disciplining the mind.  The mind is the foremost thing to overcome.
  • Spock opposed irrational (i.e. "illogical") thinking.
An admirable character, I think.
