In this life, compassion and moral virtue are not grand things far away, but begin with the smallest and most silent actions. One of the simplest ethical practices each of us can undertake today is learning to cherish every single drop of water.
Try this simple thing: When you get home, gently adjust all your faucets, from the bathroom to the kitchen, so that when they are opened, the stream of water flows just enough for your needs. Never let water flow wastefully.
You will be surprised to realize that this tiny change alone can reduce your family’s water use by more than half, or even to a quarter of what it was before.
This action carries a meaning far deeper than mere savings. It is a practice to cultivate a way of living for others. Every time we turn on the faucet and see a small, sufficient flow, we are reminded that in many places on this Earth, clean water is a priceless resource that countless people yearn for.
That small stream of water trains us in carefulness, humility, and gratitude. We learn to use only what we need, not to indulge lavishly, and not to take our current blessings for granted.
Therefore, conserving water is not merely a good habit; it has become a commandment of conscience, a vibrant expression of the compassion we hold for life.
Let every drop of water we conserve today nurture the seed of compassion in our soul, and contribute to making this world a warmer, more harmonious place. #truedharma #buddhateachings #buddha #meditation #enlightenment
