conscience

• Conscience, or self-motivated shame for one's wrongdoings (Skt. hrī). In the Abhidharmakośa-bhāṣya, one of the ten virtuous mental factors 大善地法, and in Yogâcāra, one of the eleven good mental factors 十一善. It refers to sense of conscience that brings one to reflect on one's self-centered evil actions. (Skt. trapā, apatrāpya, hirimat, hiri, hrīmat; Tib. ngo tsha shes pa) [resp.
