Bearing with the Faults of Others

BEARING WITH THE FAULTS OF OTHERS

Meditator

            God tries us with the weaknesses of others,
So that we learn patience.
Without these trials and patience,
The nobility of our deeds can never be manifested.

            Strive hard with patience to bear others' shortcomings,
For we have more faults which need the pardon of others.
Pray diligently for the weaknesses of others,
For only God can change them.
Do not forget to pray for ourselves,
For we need the love of forgiveness from God.

            If we cannot live according to the desire of our spirits,
How can we expect others to do according to our will?
We blame others, misuse freedom,
But we ourselves are unwilling to be restrained.
We require others to strictly abide by the regulations,
But, we, ourselves, do not like to be restricted.

            If we can forgive others as we forgive ourselves,
Then, there remains no difficulty in bearing the weaknesses of others
