Immodesty DKC

Discussion

One of the non-virtuous mental factors. Immodesty is concurrent with every non-virtuous cognition. It is the brazen disregard of others when committing non-virtue.

Here shameless is a better translation of ngo tsha med pa. Brazen is a good translation, but it does not have a corresponding positive factor to match khrel yod. Thus immodesty seems the best translation. DKC
