The Thirty-fourth Gate

Inhibition of self-conceit is a gate of Dharma illumination; for [with
it] wisdom is fulfilled.

Self-conceit
an excessively favorable opinion of oneself, one's abilities, etc.; vanity

May we, together with all beings
Refrain from the practice of self-conceit
That we may know true wisdom

May this offering bring peace to all beings
May our actions contribute to the harmony of The Universe
And, may all hearts and minds be opened to the present.

仁道 生開 - Jindo Shokai "Open to life in a benevolent way"
Just another itinerant monk; go somewhere else to listen to someone who really knows.
