不論祝願幾許深,種種成熟待時節;
因緣無主積經驗,回顧歷程稚已除。


因緣成熟急不來,只得任彼浮沉中;
萬幸歷苦命猶在,回顧往慮皆煙消。

No matter how sincere well-wishing is,
Maturity comes not until season's right.
Thanks to experience randomly gained,
Realizing lost of childishness in review.

Comment:

Maturity of causal conditions could not be hurried;
Just leave things alone, up and down on their own.
So fortunately, through hardship one remains alive,
Looking back at past worries dissipated like smoke.
