If I am kind to a terrorist and the terrorist punches me in the face, that

will not change my ideal.  If I show compassion to a terrorist and the

terrorist kills me, that will not change my ideal.  These words simply

reflect my loyalty to my ideal.  As I've thought about this during the past

few days, I've come to see the similarity between this way of being and the

way of being of other warriors who are willing to die for their ideals. >>

Dear Julie,

I want to be sure I understand your meaning, with no error.  You are saying
that under NO circumstance will you take the life of another who is going to
kill, either to save your own life or that of someone very, very dear to
you---husband, child, significant other; or of a very significant person such
as the Dalai Lama, etc.  Is that your meaning?
