Merle,
Buddha rules nothing out. In fact, everything is included, by default.
But he/she is *powerless* to turn peoples' heads around if they do not
practice. It's a simple matter. Just not a matter of comprehending.
Transformation is not a matter of "OK", and "alright", and "got it".
The old song says "Waking up is HARD to do." ;-)
But I say, in good rhyming fashion: "Just begin, and CON-TIN-UE."
...and I have good company, saying that. They know who they are.
