My wish that someone was dead, for example two that were recently in Alaska. I view my wish as compassion for the rest of the world. Since the basis, cannot be improved by practicing virtue nor can it be harmed by nonvirtue. Am I just fooling myself or am I going straight to a hell realm?

We must stabilize a strong degree of absolute bodhicitta in order to practice tonglen towards people and things we “hate.”

This is why the emptiness teachings are so important.

I was talking about directly confronting fascists.

I myself choose not to directly confront fascists, but I do support those that do.

Or even a desire for all existence to be swept away - or is that something different?
