仏教の先生の書かれた日本語文の英訳をさせていただいています。Buddhism’sTheory of Happinessという名前でYouTubeやSNSで仏教の布教活動をされています。その翻訳した文の一部を定期的にここでシェアさせていただきます。
When we criticize others too harshly, we create negativity and discomfort. We must recognize the emotional impact of our actions and prioritize kindness.
Words have weight to them. Therefore, it’s important to be really sure of what you’re about to say before you say it.
Buddhism warns that it’s possible to “kill with words”. The words you say can kill people. It is also said that the tongue is a sword. Your tongue can become a sword that slashes at others.
Samurais always carry their swords close to them, but they only draw their sharp blades when they have made up their minds and are ready to do so. It's only when they have decided that they are willing to cross that line.
