Guiltlessness on the Buddhist Path

Guilt is one of the greatest hindrances to our progress, both in the spiritual path and in everyday life. We have a strong sense of feeling unworthy, not good enough to make progress in doing the things we need to do. From the Buddhist point of view guilt is extra-strength egotism. By reducing the tendency to feel guilty, we can free our minds to be more alert, intelligent and agile.

Ah.

I see. So, it's the ability to realize that you messed up, you're not special, and to learn from that instead of wallowing in it. In a simplistic nutshell.

That makes quite a bit of sense. Shall have to think about this more. When papers aren't staring me in the face, that is. :)
