現在最要緊的是── 世上不知有多少小鬼。爲什麼有這麼多小鬼？就因爲人墮胎太多了，它還沒長成人形就把它殺了。小鬼的報複心更重，所以戒殺、放生也包括不可以墮胎。這些小鬼很不容易擺脫，所謂“閻王好見，小鬼難纏。”所以各位要注意這一點！現在全世界每個國家小鬼比大鬼多，大鬼比老鬼多，這種問題是很嚴重的！
── 宣化上人
What is most important and urgent now is the number of little ghosts in the world. Why are there so many little ghosts
This is because there are too many abortions. These fetuses are killed even before their bodies have a chance to develop into human shape. These little ghosts of aborted fetuses are incredibly vengeful. Therefore both the precept against killing and the precept for liberating the living prohibit abortion. These little ghosts are also very difficult to shake off, and thus the saying: “It is easy to meet King Yama, but difficult to deal with little ghosts.” Everyone should pay attention to this point! Now, in every nation, little ghosts outnumber old ghosts. This is a very serious problem!

當我看到這本書的文稿時，心中有一份震憾，特別是其中那篇〈讓錯誤不再發生〉更是讓我感觸良多，作者王士明提到他一輩子都帶著一份扔都扔不掉的愧疚！爲什麼？他這麼寫著：
“我沒想到我還是個學生，二十歲不到，但我已經荒唐地將一條生命帶來人世，又無知地剝奪他生存的權利！”
When I read the manuscript of this book, I was shaken. One of the articles in the book entitled “Don”t Let the Mistake Happen Again” especially left me with many feelings. The author, Shi Ming Wang, mentioned that he is carrying an unshakable sense of shame and guilt for the rest of his life. Why
He wrote that,
“I couldn”t believe that as a student less than twenty years old, I did a terrible thing and brought a life into the world, then ignorantly deprived him of the right to live!”
這讓我猛然想起，當今學府又有多少當年的王士明？我自一九七五年任教以來，至今已叁十叁年，叁十多年來目睹我們的校園風氣，由簡樸到開放，乃至先進。以前，在大學校園男女交往，基本上是含蓄中帶著禮法，彼此互相尊重婚前的情操，雙方于自我約束中自有一份含蓄的美，不會爲來日罩上一層陰影。
After reading this account, I suddenly thought that, “In our schools today, how many students are in similar predicaments as the young Mr. Wang
” It has been thirty-three years since I started teaching in 1975. During these thirty-some years, I have witnessed the atmosphere on our campuses changing from being plain and simple to being permissive; our permissiveness in schools has surpassed that of some countries. In the past, men and…
