A translation of a monk’s prayer I was working on today. I like translating prayers!

“May I not lead a fraudulent life-regardless of supposed success or failure!
May there be no phoniness around me
That is—may I be what I seem to be.
May my heart align with my actions—my hands and feet align
With My Guide, and
With The Way set before me to be my path,
May My inner and my outer self unite!
May who I am and what I do, be the same thing.”
Amen.
