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.

Good grief. I'm thinking way too into things now when I should just let sleeping dogs lie. This is what lack of sleep does to me, I guess. *g*
