Chinese New Year Blossoms (10) - Children


"I like children; I take great care of them; I pay them great attention.
I give, and advise parents, to give them proper advice at the proper time.

I insist on discipline, on reverent obedience to parents,
on regulated food and play, on rigorous allocation
of time for study, bhajan, meditation, etc.

I also recommend some items of service, like nursing the sick.

I condemn frivolous talk, luxurious living, deleterious habits,
addiction to films, horror comics, pen friends,
exotic dress, outlandish coiffures
designed to draw attention to oneself, etc.

By these means, boys and girls are slowly drawn
into unrighteous and immoral ways."
