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.
