Yesterday evening there was lighting, and thunder. Drizzle. In February in Yeonggwang County? Odd. Weather here is odd – more interesting than the boring weather of Seoul – I will miss that.
I didn't do much updating this weekend, despite having an internet connection at home, did I? Hmm. I've been a bit of a recluse, lately. Trying to study. Trying to write. Not being great at those things. So I haven't had anything "public" to say, for my blog. But anyway, hello, blog.
“I bow in repentance of all actions and words and heart that cling.”
This is #37 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).
…
35. 어리석은 말로 상대방이 잘못되는 악연을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of any ties to the mistakes made by others because of their foolish talk.”
36. 어리석은 행동으로 악연이 될 수있는 인연에게 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of any ties that can become an evil destiny through stupid talk.”
37. 집착하는 마음과 말과 행동을 참회하며 절합니다.
I would read this thirty-seventh affirmation as: “I bow in repentance of all actions and words and heart that cling.”
