Caveat: 84) 부처님. 저는 욕심을 내지 않기를 발원하며 절합니다

“Buddha. I bow and pray not to be greedy.”

This is #84 out of a series of 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).


82. 항상 부처님의 법속에서 살기를 발원하며 절합니다.
        “I bow and pray to live always in the heart of Buddha’s dharma.”
83. 항상 스님의 가르침을 따르기를 발원하며 절합니다.
        “I bow and pray to follow always the teachings of the monks.”
84. 부처님. 저는 욕심을 내지 않기를 발원하며 절합니다.

I would read this eighty-fourth affirmation as: “Buddha. I bow and pray not to be greedy.”
