Evidently Brit Hume has not heard of the Bodhisattva's vow: to wit, that he will not enter into Nirvana until all sentient beings have reached enlightenment. Total compassion and unconditional forgiveness are at the core of Mahayana Buddhism.<BR>

May you all find your Buddha nature,<BR>

"The extent to which he [Tiger Woods] can recover seems to me depends on<BR>
his faith. He is said to be a Buddhist. I don't think that faith offers<BR>
the kind of forgiveness and redemption that is offered by the Christian<BR>
faith. My message to Tiger would be, 'Tiger, turn to the Christian faith<BR>
and you can make a total recovery and be a great example to the world."<BR>
