00:00Punishment is a great thing, especially if somebody is honest enough to punish herself.
00:06But what's the quality, the dimension of that punishment?
00:10Ask yourself, I've been punishing myself so often, has that resulted in correction?
00:17If I need to punish myself for the same thing again and again,
00:22is the concept of punishment even working for me?
00:26Maybe this kind of punishment is just helpful to somehow placate my sense of guilt.
00:34You know, I did a bad thing and I feel guilty.
00:37To get rid of the guilt, I punish myself.
00:40You can punish yourself and get rid of the guilt,
00:43but that would not be effective in making you a better person.
00:47You do not just punish the action.
00:51You do not just punish the moment.
00:53You punish the doer herself.
00:57You punish the doing tendency.
