Master Hongyi
養正院從開辦到現在，已是一年多了。外面的名譽很好，這因為由瑞金法師主辦，又得各位法師熱心愛護，所以能有這樣的成績。
The Yangzheng Academy has now been operating for over a year, and its reputation in the outside world is excellent. This is thanks to Master Ruijin's leadership and the dedicated support of the many venerable masters, which has allowed us to achieve such results.
我這次到廈門，得來這裏參觀，心裏非常歡喜。各方面的布置都很完美，就是地上也掃得乾乾淨淨的，這樣，在別的地方，很不容易看到。
Coming to Xiamen this time and having the chance to visit here fills me with great joy. Everything has been arranged perfectly—even the floor is swept spotlessly clean, which is rarely seen elsewhere.

再過幾個月，我就要到鼓浪嶼日光巖去方便閉關了。時期大約頗長久，怕不能時時會到，所以特地發心來和諸位敘談敘談。
今天所要和諸位談的，共有四項：一是惜福，二是習勞，三是持戒，四是自尊，都是青年佛徒應該注意的。
