Chinese to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Religion / Buddhism | | Chinese term or phrase: 會者定離, 去者必返, 生者必滅 | Dear Colleagues,
I need transliteration of the buddhism phrases below:
1. 會者定離
2. 去者必返
3. 生者必滅
I know the meanings are something like:
1. Those who meet must part.
2. Those who left must return.
3. Those who live must die.
What I need is the closest transliteration so an English speaker can pronounce these phrases. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you. |

3 hrs confidence: hway je* ding lee, chew je* bee fon*, shung je bee mee-eh
Explanation:
I agree with Prof Projex, only I would only add that
je sounds like "dger" in badger
and
fon sounds like "ften" in soften.
