..續本文上一頁、青年的小朋友，你們都要注意這一點。什麼呢？現在全世界啊，教育都破産了，沒有教育了。這個教育，教你什麼呢？現在他們教性行爲，這是大錯而特錯！性行爲可以教，你應該教他怎麼樣子不亂交，不要亂搞關系，你應該教他潔身自愛、守身如玉，等他成長了之後再懂得性知識。不應該啊！五、六歲的小孩子一天到晚都看電視。電視這妖怪把小孩子都引誘壞了，引誘四、五歲小孩子就懂得接吻，也懂得互相摟抱。嗯，你說這是什麼世界？這種自由真是可憐！可憐！太可憐了！
Let me once again tell all of you senior friends, middle-aged friends and young friends, you should pay attention to this point. What point
Nowadays, education all over the world has gone bankrupt to the point that there is no education at all! What does education teach you currently
It teaches you sexual conduct, and this is extremely wrong! Although sex education is o.k. in of itself, the focus should be on teaching students not to engage in improper sexual relationships. The students should be taught how to cherish themselves, and guard the purity of their bodies. Only until they are grown up, can these youngsters really understand sex. In addition, children who are only five or six years old should not be allowed to watch TV all day long. This T.V. monster has negative influence on these young children. For example, it has seduced these children into knowing how to kiss and hug each other. What kind of world is this
This type of freedom is really pitiful! 爲什麼說教育破産？你看看，小孩子你不教他做人的根本道理，現在的學校都鼓勵什麼呢？鼓勵你讀什麼書賺錢最多。做醫生賺錢最多就讀醫學，到月球去賺錢最多就讀科學。喔，父母也不顧了，妻子也不管了，什麼都不顧了！
Why do I say education in this world has gone bankrupt
Schools don”t teach children the fundamental principles of being a human. What do they advocate instead
They encourage students to study whatever subjects that will help them to earn the most money. If being a doctor is the most profitable, then one goes to medical school; if going to the moon means having the highest salary, then one studies science. Focusing on making money, people end up neglecting their parents and spouse. In fact, they ignore everything but money!

A Talk Given by the Venerable Master Hsuan Hua 你若太早有男女朋友，就受傷了。
就像小苗，還沒成長就把它割下來，那它根本什麼用也沒有！
If you have a boyfriend or a girlfriend when you are too young, you will end up getting hurt.
It”s like cutting a little sprout before it is fully grown; what is the use
同學們！人生最好的時候，就是二十歲以前的時期，即所謂的“黃金時代”。在這時期，本有的佛性還未失去，清淨的自性仍然存在。此時，若能跟著好人在一起，就會做個好人；若是跟著壞人在一起，就會做個壞人，很容易受環境的影響。所謂“近朱者赤，近墨者黑”就是這個道理。
All of you students! The best days in one”s life is the time before age twenty, referred to as “the golden age.” In this period, you have yet to lose your pure inherent nature, your Buddha nature. You are also easily influenced by your environment during this time. If you were around wholesome people, you will become wholesome, if you were to associate with unwholesome people, you will turn unwholesome. This is the principle of “Those who draw near to vermilion will turn red, those who associate with ink will turn black.” 若是遇到良師益友，就能學到真正的學問，端正品行；反之，遇到不守規矩的師友，就會受他們的影響，成爲不守規矩的人。小者，成爲害群之馬；大者，則爲社會的敗類。切記！你們的自性好像純潔的白布，染之于蒼則蒼，染之于黃則黃。你們在這樣優越的環境讀書，將來一定要做個有利益社會的人，改善社會的風氣，要有犧牲小我、完成大我的精神。
If you meet good teachers and helpful friends, you will attain genuine knowledge and develop proper behavior. In contrast, if you get to know teachers and friends who disobey rules, you will be influenced by them and become someone who also disobeys rules. In the short run, you may be a nuisance; in the long run, you may become the dregs of society. Be sure to remember your inherent nature is like a piece of pure white cloth, which will “turn gray if stained with gray, turn yellow if stained with yellow.” You are studying in an excellent environment now, and in the future, you should be able to benefit and improve the society. All of you should have the spirit of willing to s…
