There is some blur at the top of the image that makes the beginning of the title unclear. However, the main body of the text has been transcribed as follows:
**"There is a total interconnectedness of everyone in the six directions. Now, if we all refrain from bad habits and keep the first four precepts devotedly, as well as to avoid any biases caused by love, hate, fear and ignorance, we would be a pretty amazing society. We should all be avoiding what are called the roads to ruin as well: drinking, lustfulness, gambling, associating with corrupt people and anyone who thinks that money is GOD.

We need to develop in students the discipline to take care of themselves - their mental and emotional health, and their physical health. And with this, the whole picture of education should be clear. We are all worthy of being human."**
**"The object of education and educational administration or management is to develop good habits in our students. Of course, they strive to obtain knowledge. We have to help them understand the knowledge they possess and the knowledge they acquire and then give them the skills and expertise to use the things that they learn. Included in this is the educational management aspect, in which they learn to be responsible for the classroom, the desks, the chairs, the floors, and bathrooms and so on and on.
