56. 슬픈 사람에 대한 자비심의 부족함을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of any insufficiency [in showing] mercy toward sad people.”
57. 가난한 사람에 대한 자비심의 부족함을 참회하며 절합니다.
“I bow in repentance of any insufficiency [in showing] mercy toward poor people.”
58. 고집스러운 사람에 대한 자비심의 부족함을 참회하며 절합니다.
I would read this fifty-eighth affirmation as: “I bow in repentance of any insufficiency [in showing] mercy toward stubborn people.”
I think my problem is more just in being a stubborn person, myself.
