以利益人类为己任
Only a person who aspires to help the country and benefit mankind can be considered a great hero.


要有利益国家、人类的抱负,才算大丈夫、大英雄、大豪杰。
Never do anything that goes against reason and conscience.
你们要立大志,做大事,不要想做大官,赚大钱,那是为自己个人的享受,对世界人类没有什么贡献。要想将来怎样利益社会,怎样利益国家,怎样利益全人类,要有这样的抱负,才算大丈夫、大英雄、大豪杰。
All of you must make great vows and do great things. Don't think about getting a high position or making a fortune, because these are only for your own enjoyment and are not a contribution to humankind. Ask yourselves, "How can I help the country? How can I benefit humankind?" These are the aims of a great person.
不要想当医生就可以赚很多钱;没有病的人,给他打一针,他就送钱来了。这会错因果的,将来是要堕地狱的。不要想做律师又可以赚很多钱,为了赚钱,替有罪的人辩护成无罪,藐视法律如儿戏,令受害者无处申冤。不要想做科学家,虽然能赚很多钱,可是发明杀人的武器,令成千上万的人死亡。
You shouldn't want to be a doctor for the wrong reasons. Doctors can make a lot of money, but some of them give shots to people who are not sick and charge them for it. By making such mistakes in cause and effect, they will fall into the hells. Although lawyers can make a lot of money, you shouldn't want to be a lawyer. For the sake of making money, they will defend a guilty person so that he is found innocent. They scorn the law and treat it as child's play, and those who are hurt have nowhere to redress their grievances. You shouldn't want to be a scientist. Although scientists can make a lot of money, they also invent deadly weapons that can exterminate countless people.
“钱”是害人的东西,能令人互相残杀,亲人变成路人。兄弟为争家产,变成仇人,甚至为钱作怪,儿子杀死父亲。最近洛杉矶就发生这种儿子杀父亲的事件,在洛杉矶有个大富翁,名叫吉尔,他有六千万美金的财产,大概来路不大光明。他有两个儿子,是不良少年之流,为了钱,把亲爱的爸爸谋杀了。你们看!钱是好东西吗?你们应该看钱如粪土一样,不要对钱着迷,也不要对钱打妄想。要安分守己,尽己所能,为人类造幸福,所谓“牺牲小我,完成大我。”这是伟大的志愿,大家共勉之。
Money is harmful. It makes people kill each other and turns relatives into strangers. In squabbling over family estates, brothers become sworn enemies and sons are driven to murder their fathers in their greed for money. Recently it was reported in the news that a boy killed his father in Los Angeles. The father was a wealthy proprietor in Los Angeles who owned a sixty-million-dollar estate, which he had probably obtained in an underhanded way. His two sons were juvenile delinquents. Out of desire for money, they murdered their beloved father. You see? Is money really such a good thing? Think of money as you would of manure or dirt. Don't become attached to it, and don't fantasize about it. Just be content with what you have, and do your best to create blessings for humanity. Great people wish to sacrifice the petty self to achieve the great self, and we should encourage ourselves to follow their example.
在学校读书,首先要学怎样做人,不要学拍马投机的行为,不要给人家戴高帽子,也不要欢喜人家给自己戴高帽子。你们要学真实的学问,要立言、立功、立德,做个出类拔萃的人。这是我今天对你们所讲的话,希望你们记在脑海中,不要当做耳边风。
When we study in school, we must first learn how to be good people. Don't flatter others in order to get on their good side. Don't put others on a pedestal, and don't hope that others will put you on a pedestal. Study true knowledge. Establish good teachings, merit, and virtue; be an outstanding person. I hope you'll remember what I said to you today and will not let my words pass in one ear and out the other.
