If you must want some reminiscence

If you must want some reminiscence, please let it be the cause of introspection

It is hard for us to live at present.

Most of the time we live in recalling the past. 

In that way, 

If you must want some reminiscence,

please let it be the cause of introspection.

Let the reminiscence not only be sinking into the past happiness and embarrassment,

But also, let it be the process of self-introspection again and again.

Make it not only wasting your life,

But also, be the nectar that washes away the sin over and over again.

Since bodhi is everything,

Then let the reminiscence be the helper of ultimate joy.

Practice is absolutely not a rigid pattern,

but the flexible usage of every flash of thought. 

To make everything a source of practice is a merit,

Also, an ability. 

Converting everything with buddha-nature,

The life is the genuine practice.
