"When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself"

This quote by Shunryu Suzuki encourages us to provide our all to whatever we do. It suggests that we ought to put our full effort into our work and not hold back. We ought to be passionate and dedicated to our tasks, and not be afraid to provide it our all. The metaphor of a bonfire is used to illustrate this idea. A bonfire is a powerful and extreme flame that burns vibrantly and completely, leaving no trace of itself. This is the very same mindset we should have when we do something. We must be passionate and dedicated, and not be afraid to offer it our all. We must be willing to put in the effort and energy to ensure that our work is done to the very best of our capability. In the end, we must be proud of our work and have no regrets.
