Caveat: 22) 시기심으로 인해 악연이 된 인연들에게 참회하며 절합니다

This is #22 out of a series of [broken link! FIXME] 108 daily Buddhist affirmations that I am attempting to translate with my hands tied behind my back (well not really that, but I'm deliberately not seeking out translations on the internet, using only dictionary and grammar).

20. [broken link! FIXME] 교만 함으로 인해 악연이 된 인연들에게 참회하며 절합니다.
        "I bow in repentance of the ties that become like an evil destiny due to arrogance."

21. [broken link! FIXME] 탐욕으로 인해 악연이 된 인연들에게 참회하며 절합니다.
        "I bow in repentance of the ties that become like an evil destiny due to avarice."

22. 시기심으로 인해 악연이 된 인연들에게 참회하며 절합니다.

I would read this twenty-second affirmation as:  "I bow in repentance of the ties that become like an evil destiny due to jealousy."

These recent affirmations have not been so difficult to translate, since only the initial word (which ends up the last word in the translation) has varied.  Anger, harsh words, avarice, jealousy.  Your standard ennumeration of bad things, across most religious traditions.

22. 시기심으로 인해 악연이 된 인연들에게 참회하며 절합니다 .

Caveat: Just Some Pictures

I had my camera out during my morning ride with Mr Lee, and my walk to the bus station after work.

Mr Lee, removing snow from his car. My apartment is just off the right side of the picture about 200 meters.

We dropped off Mr Lee’s wife at her work at West Yeonggwang Elementary, again. This is a picture from the parking lot, there.

This is a picture looking back at the school, as we were driving away.

These are a cluster of buildings near a crossroads about a kilometer from the school.

This is at my parking lot / track / soccer field / playground in front of Hongnong Elementary (my school).

This is Hongnong Elementary’s main entrance.

This is walking down the main driveway of the school at the end of the day.

This is one of my third graders, posing proudly with his trumpet.

These are some girls playing with snow in a vacant lot on the way down Hongnong’s high street.

This is the exciting Hongnong bus terminal (at left in the picture) at the south side of town.
