Repentance Part.3

While we are pretending to be noble , we are defiling the pure air of the temple.
We are merely putting on appearances and acting as if we are undergoing spiritual trainings so that we receive precious teachings and blessings.
However, once we received them, we immediately forget with no reflection or gratitude, avoiding the rigorous study necessary for self-improvement whenever possible.

We don't particularly dislike the things that Buddhas despises as impure, and we casually do the very actions that Buddhas painstakingly tries to prevent.
Despite the preciousness of life, we waste the years chasing only fleeting amusement and trivial pleasures and end up living out dull and meaningless days.


偉そうなふりをして寺院の清らかな空気を汚し、格好ばかり、さも修行しているふりをしてありがたい教えやご利益をいただいている。いただいてしまえば、それっきり忘れてしまい、反省や感謝もしないし、自分を高めてゆくための厳しい勉強はできれば避けようとする。
ほとけさまが嫌われる汚れたものはそれほど嫌いとは思わないし、ぼとけさまが、そういうことをさせまいと、心を砕かれていることを平気でする。
大切な人生なのに、面白いおかしいことばかり求めて無駄に年を取り、くだらないことを追いかけてつまらない日々を送る。

Corrections

WhileIf we are pretending to be noble whilst inside the temple, we are defiling theit's pure air of the temple.

Maybe something like this?

It depends on "when" the "pretending" is taking place.

We are merely putting on appearances and acting as if we are undergoing spiritual trainings so that we receive (Buddha's?) precious teachings and blessings.

However, once we received them, we immediately forget with no reflection or gratitude, avoiding the rigorous study necessary for self-improvement whenever possible.

We don't particularly dislikeavoid the things that Buddhas despises as impure, and we casually do the very actions that Buddhas painstakingly tries to prevent us from doing.

Or maybe:
"We indulge in the things that Buddha despises as impure"

Despite the preciousness of life, we waste away the years chasing only fleeting amusement and trivial pleasures and end up living out dull and meaningless daylives.

I think "temple's pure air" flows a bit better.

Feedback

Grammatically you translated this text very well. If I had to pick one thing I would recommend you to work on, it would be transitions such as "therefore, thus, and as a result" just to sync your movements better. Keep up your efforts!
