Seven Deadly Sins
Posted: Wed Jun 05, 2002 1:42 am
I am looking for Chinese Carachters representing the seven deadly sins:
1. vainglory or pride
2. avarice, covetousness, or greed
3. lust, understood as inordinate or illicit sexual desire
4. envy
5. gluttony, which usually included drunkenness
6. anger
7. sloth or laziness
I have heard that the carachters are the same whether Cantonese or Manderin ... is this true? How does pronunciation differ and can the carachters be mis-interpreted?
Is there any religious comparisons? Where do they fit into the 108 sins?
Thanks for your help.
