oswald Posted April 6, 2013 at 10:36 AM Report Posted April 6, 2013 at 10:36 AM Hi, My question is very simple, how to translate 福德 in English or French? it's a buddhist term, it's not 功德, but it's near. Thanks all Quote
ABCsOfChinese Posted April 7, 2013 at 02:10 AM Report Posted April 7, 2013 at 02:10 AM I'm seeing here that 功德 is "achievements/merit and virtue" and that 福德 is "good fortune and virtue". They discuss it a little bit at http://www.quangminh.org.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1104:the-buddhist-doctrines-in-pure-lands-sect&catid=89:2009-06-13-07-46-19 Quote
