“Buddha. I bow and pray not to suffer sickness in the world.”
This is #102 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).
…
100. 부처님. 저는이 세상에 전쟁이 없기를 발원하며 절합니다.
“Buddha. I bow and pray not to be at war with the world.”
101. 부처님. 저는이 세상에 가난이 없기를 발원하며 절합니다.
“Buddha. I bow and pray not to be destitute in the world.”
102. 부처님. 저는이 세상에 질병이 없기를 발원하며 절합니다.
I would read this one hundred second affirmation as: “Buddha. I bow and pray not to suffer sickness in the world.”
I say that, currently suffering sickness. Well. Such is life. It’s not a severe sickness, setting aside certain subtle inclincations toward hypochondria that I sometimes experience.
What I’m listening to right now.
