Caveat: 56) 슬픈 사람에 대한 자비심의 부족함을 참회하며 절합니다

“I bow in repentance of any insufficiency [in showing] mercy toward sad people.”
This is #56 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).


54. [broken link! FIXME] 이 세상을 옳고 그름으로 분별하며 살아온 죄를 참회하며 절합니다.
        “I bow in repentance of any misdeeds lived and discerning this world right or wrong.”
55. [broken link! FIXME] 병든 사람에 대한 자비심의 부족함을 참회하며 절합니다.
        “I bow in repentance of any insufficiency [in showing] mercy toward sick people.”
56. 슬픈 사람에 대한 자비심의 부족함을 참회하며 절합니다.

I would read this fifty-sixth affirmation as:  “I bow in repentance of any insufficiency [in showing] mercy toward sad people.”
Another one of those super-easy translations – just plug in a single change of vocabulary to the preceding one.
