One of my students, a convert from a large Christian denomination, said they were having trouble with residual guilt.
"What have you done that makes you feel guilty?" I asked.
"Christianity taught me I was born guilty of a sin I did not commit and I am unworthy of God's love," the Student answered. "Christianity taught me to feel guilty about every emotion I experience."
"What are you going to do?" I asked.
"Learn, through the practice of compassion and wisdom, to let that guilt and that unworthiness fall aware."
"How?"
"By not attending to it. By not feeding it."
