“Buddha. I bow and pray not to tell lies.”
This is #89 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).
…
87. 부처님 . 저는시기하지 않기를 발원하며 절합니다.
“Buddha. I bow and pray not to be envious.”
88. 부처님. 저는 모진 말을하지 않기를 발원하며 절합니다.
“Buddha. I bow and pray not to speak harshly.”
89. 부처님. 저는 거짓말하지 않기를 발원하며 절합니다.
I would read this eighty-ninth affirmation as: “Buddha. I bow and pray not to tell lies.”
No lie.
