“I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe through only my thoughts.”
This is #43 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).
…
41. 내 입으로 맛 본 것만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by only trying tastes with my mouth.”
42. 내 몸으로받은 느낌만 옳다고 생각한 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe by feeling only [the sensations] of my body.”
43. 내 생각만 옳다는 어리석음을 참회하며 절합니다.
I would read this forty-third affirmation as: “I bow in repentance of all the stupidity that I believe through only my thoughts.”
Most of my stupidity arises in this way – I think of stupid things. I’m much more likely to give credence to my own stupid ideas than to those of others.
