You wrote " I think that people who murder others may have the capacity for
change, but once they take a life they forfeit the right to that
consideration."
I agree comepletely. I think a person forfeits their membership in the
human race when they murder another person.
If becoming totally and unconditionally compassionate towards all beings is
a requirement of Being Buddhist, then I dont think I will ever qualify.
But then, from what I have heard the Dalai Lama say, either will he. It is
a lofty goal but even the Dalai lama sees reality.
