"I bow and pray to live always in the heart of Buddha's dharma."
This is #82 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).
...
80. 가장 큰 힘이 사랑이라는 것을 알게되어 감사한 마음으로 절합니다.
"I bow with a thankful heart and become aware that the most powerful thing is love."81. 항상 부처님의 품 안에서 살기를 발원하며 절합니다.
"I bow and pray to live always in the Buddha's arms."82. 항상 부처님의 법속에서 살기를 발원하며 절합니다.
I would read this eighty-second affirmation as: "I bow and pray to live always in the heart of Buddha's dharma."
Unrelatedly...
What I'm listening to right now.
Röyksopp - "What Else Is There?" [Update: apparently this video is disabled in some parts of the world, due to copyright enforcement. Youtube's copyright enforcement is incomprehensible to me, but there's nothing I can do about it. I've had so many vidoes that I tried to view that were disabled in Korea, but that had been linked by people I know in the US, where there was apparently no enforcement. This is not the first time I heard of it going other way around. It probably boils down to who's suing who in what country's courts. Sorry. There are other versions online that might work. More update (2013-05-29): In doing some blog-maintenance work I found that the video posted here did not exist anymore. I've replaced it with a new version that seems roughly the same.] The lyrics:
It was me on that road
But you couldn't see me
Too many lights out, but nowhere near here
It was me on that road
Still you couldn't see me
And then flashlights and explosions
Roads end getting nearer
We cover distance but not together
I am the storm I am the wonder
And the flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions
I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish
It's about you and the sun
A morning run
The story of my maker
What I have and what I ache for
I've got a golden ear
I cut and I spear
And what else is there
Roads and getting nearer
We cover distance still not together
If I am the storm if I am the wonder
Will I have a flashlights nightmares
And sudden explosions
There's no room where I can go and
You've got secrets too
I don't know what more to ask for
I was given just one wish
Hello Jared,

Sorry Anthony... the ways of the gods of youtube copyright enforcement are deeply mysterious. I added a caveat (update) to the above.
