yerbas


Explanation:
Ya lo encontré Au. La palabra se usa con un doble sentido. La trama se desarrolla en un barrio próspero con casas de jardins bien cuidados, pero a la vez uno de los protagonistas vende marihiuana "weed". Las yerbas malas que infestan los jardines también se conocen como "weeds". Yo lo dejaría tal cual.. Yerbas

malas hierbas


Explanation:
No conozco esta nueva serie. "Weeds" significan plantas que crecen fácilmente por todos lados pero que no son demasiado agresivas y no muy bellas (por lo cual la mayoría de las personas tratan de eliminarlas).

perdon, quize decir \"que *son* demasiado agresivas\"--las malas hierbas son muy prolíficas.

pasto


Explanation:
Those who have spent ten or twenty years brushing aside the weeds looking for the way and yet have not see the buddha nature often say they are trapped by oblivion and excitement. What they don't realize is that the substance of this very oblivion and excitement is itself buddha nature.
