现在最要紧的是── 世上不知有多少小鬼。为什么有这么多小鬼？就因为人堕胎太多了，它还没长成人形就把它杀了。小鬼的报复心更重，所以戒杀、放生也包括不可以堕胎。这些小鬼很不容易摆脱，所谓“阎王好见，小鬼难缠。”所以各位要注意这一点！现在全世界每个国家小鬼比大鬼多，大鬼比老鬼多，这种问题是很严重的！

　　── 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!

　　当我看到这本书的文稿时，心中有一份震憾，特别是其中那篇〈让错误不再发生〉更是让我感触良多，作者王士明提到他一辈子都带着一份扔都扔不掉的愧疚！为什么？他这么写着：

　　“我没想到我还是个学生，二十岁不到，但我已经荒唐地将一条生命带来人世，又无知地剥夺他生存的权利！”

　　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.

　　 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!”

　　这让我猛然想起，当今学府又有多少当年的王士明？我自一九七五年任教以来，至今已三十三年，三十多年来目睹我们的校园风气，由简朴到开放，乃至先进。以前，在大学校园男女交往，基本上是含蓄中带着礼法，彼此互相尊重婚前的情操，双方于自我约束中自有一份含蓄的美，不会为来日罩上一层阴影。

　　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…
