why i’m not totally buddhist
Because I drink and eat meat. I also have not fully embraced total compassion for all beings.
I cannot extend compassion to rapists – but the teachings of Thay have modified my position on the death penalty.
It takes a great heart to be able to transcend and extend compassion past hatred and I’m not there yet.

I wonder if you would be interested in my friend Natasha’s rather impressive blog at http://www.feminish.net/. Some of her thoughts might be of interest.
Sorry for having gone a bit quiet and not looked at this blog before. I’ve got an avalanche of work about to descend on my head and am more than a little scared.
