Repentance
I received an explanatory text on Buddhist scriptures from my wife's uncle. Its essence is about confessing past sins and seeking forgiveness, and I find that it applies to me in every respect. I would like to translate this text into English over several times.
"I confess my sins. From a small age, when I understood nothing, I have unknowingly committed many karmic offenses. Sins committed by the body, sins committed by the mouth, sins committed by the mind. Even though I commit them all, I deceive myself into thinking I have not, and so I go on to commit even more sins."
仏教の経典の解説文を家内の叔父からいただいた。これまでの懺悔を告白して詫びてゆくというような趣旨だが、すべてが僕にあてはまる。数回にわたりこの文を英訳してみたい。
「私は懺悔します。何も分からない頃から知らずのうちにたくさんの業を犯します。身で犯す業、口で犯す業、心で犯す業。全部犯しているのに、犯していなような気になってもっとたくさんの業を犯しています。」
