Yes. It is not correct to think that you have done so many evil things that you cannot become a Buddha. Consider Angulimala and Milarepa who were both serial killers who became enlightened holy ones after learning and practicing the teachings of the Buddha.
Erroneous View #31: Acknowledging that you yourself do not have the seed to become a Buddha because your karmic forces are heavy.
Some people think that their negative karma is heavy. They think, “My negative karma is too heavy. My dark karma is deep. I have done many bad things. Alas, I am so pitiful. I will never have the seed to become a Buddha.” This is an erroneous view. No matter how heavy your negative karma is, as long as you sincerely repent, become a good person, cultivate yourself well, and learn the dharma well, you, too, can attain accomplishment.
