“I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by my own ears to be right.”
This is #39 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).
…
37. 집착하는 마음과 말과 행동을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of all actions and words and heart that cling.”
38. 내 눈으로 본 것만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe in my own eyes to be right.”
39. 내 귀로들은 것만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
I would read this thirty-ninth affirmation as: “I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by my own ears to be right.”
Monkey see. Monkey hear.
