The Goodness of Water Lies in Its Nature

To have a beautiful life, you must have eyes that can perceive beauty, especially eyes that can find beauty in differences. The rising sun has a brilliant radiance, and the setting sun has splendid hues. Tender shoots have the freshness of spring, and fallen leaves have the majestic beauty of autumn. The grand avenue offers a vast horizon, while the narrow path offers secluded charm. The ocean has a resounding roar, and the small stream has pleasant tranquility. Peacock has enchanting feathers, and the white dove has pure and virtuous wings.

Even the clearest water, if constantly shaken in a cup, will not become clear. Even the murkiest water, if left still, will quickly become clear. Our hearts are the same. If we don't give them time to settle, and constantly shake them, they will remain in a state of turbidity. Let us strive to calm our minds!

Buddhism teaches about cause and effect: you reap what you sow. A lack of compassion leads to a lack of wisdom. If you move carelessly through each step, you rarely release emotions, striving for perfection, but perfection isn't just about control; it also requires releasing emotions, giving yourself a breakthrough, and surprising the audience. It depends not on one play, but on our lives after it.
The highest form of good deeds is like water's nature: benefiting all things without striving for fame or fortune. Water, seeking the lowest ground, is humility; flowing to the sea is pursuit; gentleness and strength combined is ability; embracing all rivers is magnanimity; dripping through stone is perseverance; cleansing muddy pools is dedication. As the saying goes, life is like a river flowing to the sea. Kindness and generosity without expectation, serenity and enlightenment, humility like water. Learn from water's goodness, the greatest good is like water.
