Then, would you say your actions are in line with the compassionate awareness of bodhicitta?

No, but I didn't say I was a good practitioner. That's why I practise for a rebirth in Amitabha's Pure Land.

My feelings come from a place of hate and malice, but also compassion for the Asian Buddhists who tell me every single day how they feel their religion is being defaced.

People, not facts, require compassion.
