If you're not learning Japanese and you've clicked on this thread, what are you doing ? Go open Anki right now and learn a minimum of Japanese before coming back.
Anyway, I'm not going to use super easy words but rather words that I don't think you'd know, feel free to put yours on too
I'll start with this one: 外面似菩薩内心如夜叉 which literally means: The face is as gentle as a bodhisattva's but the heart is as vicious and terrible as a yaksha's.
The term refers to a woman who is an obstacle to Buddhist practice, it's a way of showing that sensual pleasures could lead to distraction or spiritual wandering
It's more of an expression/proverb than a word tbh but idc
