I stand corrected
The Buddha emphasized admitting mistakes as a path to spiritual growth, teaching that recognizing and confessing faults, rather than denying them, is essential for self-improvement and learning. By embracing humility and accountability, one can overcome ego and pride, leading to deeper wisdom and a willingness to transform past errors into future positive actions. This practice allows for forgiveness of oneself and others, facilitating spiritual progress and drawing one closer to the goal of enlightenment.
