《談品學兼優的「品」》(English version below)
「師父，法官宣判，國大生在地鐵和地鐵站內非禮女生，屬輕微侵犯，而他學業成績好，未來有出人頭地的潛能，所以只判緩刑21個月！」
吾獨居靜修的清淨蓮華宮，又有了一絲絲的風吹草動。吾的門生告知吾，又一宗國大生非禮案。請勿急呼：「哎呀！這沒什麼大不了嘛！」
大不大得了，這就要看妳你心向是什麼了。若幹案的是妳你的兒子，又或是被非禮的是妳你女兒的話，氤氳中就不會有「哎呀！這沒什麼大不了」的音波簜漾在其中了吧！
本國的其中一個優點，就是讓國人都有受教育的機會。吾記得小學課本裡及老師都有提及，學子必要品學兼優。或許吾等可將求學時期，所有的知識拋到九宵之外，但「品學兼優」這四個字，卻萬萬不能。因爲，品德不佳的學子，守己之能必淪亡。
在學府已犯科，出來社會到成家，恐怕難以讓人信服，他會是個好員工，他會是個好老公，他會是個好父親、好爸爸啊！他的聲譽不佳，人生的成績簿裡，除了滿江紅以外，污點也充斥了大半的人生成績簿啊！
品排在學之前，就是要告訴吾等，若是眞愛我們的孩子，一定要好好的，不斷的灌輸他她們，品德爲首要的，正確價值觀。一來可免不必要的傷心難過。二來爲人父母者，爲人子女者，各有所德，吉慶滿堂。三來可爲吾等的家園，除去多些邪氛，增進多些祥和，更多更多快樂的日子，大家一起過。

“Master, in a recent molestation case by a NUS undergrad in the MRT train and station, the judge's verdict is it is only a minor intrusion, and his academic results showed potential to excel in life, so he is only sentenced to 21-month's probation."
In my pure Lotus palace where I stay alone for quiet cultivation, a slight disturbance arose when my disciple told me about another molestation case by a NUS undergrad. Don't exclaim in a hurry, "Oh, this is no big deal!"
Whether it is a big deal, depends on what your direction of your heart is. If the culprit is your son, or the victim is your daughter, I guess there would be no voices of "Oh, this is no big deal!" floating in the air!
One merit of Singapore is that every Singaporean has an opportunity to receive education. I remember my primary school textbooks and teachers mentioning about the need for students to excel in both character and studies (品學兼優). Perhaps we have long forgotten about the knowledge we picked up during our schooling days, but we must not forget these four characters 品學兼優. Because when a student cannot excel in both his/her morals and studies, his/her ability to watch over himself/herself will perish.
For a person who has already committed crimes while schooling, from the time he starts work in the society and set up his own family, it will be hard to convince for other people to believe that he will be a good employee, a good husband and a great father! With a poor reputation, apart from many red marks of failure, more than half of his Life report book will consist of blemishes too!
In the idiom 品學兼優, 品 (character) comes before 學 (studies). This is to tell us that if we truly love our children, we must make the effort to continuously inculcate them the priority importance of character and morals.
Firstly, this will avoid any unnecessary sadness and unhappiness.
Secondly, when both the parents and children are people of good morals, auspiciousness and celebrations will be abound in the family.
Thirdly, it will eradicate vile energies in the household and usher in more harmony and good fortune. This means more and more happy days for the whole family.
