The meaning of offering water on the Buddha altar. Offering water to Buddha, we should offer a glass of water, transparent, can see the water inside from the outside. Should offer spring water or cold water, should not offer cooled boiled water, tea or colored water. The meaning of offering water on the altar of Buddha Ly water offering to Buddha. The characteristics of water are pure, calm, and pure. That is why when we offer water to the Buddha, we immediately think that our mind must be pure, equal, and pure like water. In life, we should treat people, deal with people, things, things, our mind should not have distinctions between rich and poor, rich-poor, wise-stupid. As King Vo Tac Thien said: “Human beings are all the same when they are born, they are all equal. When an adult puts on a robe, he is called a king. If you wear a torn shirt, you are called a beggar." In the Zen house, there is also a very famous story, which is: "The Sixth Patriarch Hue Neng went to Huynh Mai district to meet the Fifth Patriarch Hoang Nhan to pray for the Dharma. When they met, the Fifth Patriarch asked: "Where are you from? What do you come here for?" Hui Neng replied, "I came from Lingnan. Come here only to pray to be a Buddha, not to ask for anything else." The patriarch continued: "You are from Linh Nam but you are a barbarian, how can you become a Buddha!". Hui Neng replied, "Although a person has a division between North and South, Buddha nature does not have South and North. This barbaric body is not the same for the monk, but the Buddha nature is no different!". Through the Pali canon, back to India at that time. The Buddha denied social class divisions and sexism. He taught actions (or deeds) that speak of the value of each person, be it a Brahmin, a Chad De Loi, a Vesa or a Thu Da La, but not race or ancestry. The more I understand the value of respecting the ultimate equality of Buddha, who said: "There is no class in the same red blood, no hatred in the same salty tear". Through the three stories above, we can see that the behavior of the ancients was beautiful and noble. Today in life and work, although there are distinctions between directors, employees, owners, maids, etc..., if we know how to behave with each other in the spirit of "the duty of lay Buddhists at home," "life will be good. The owner's duty to the domestic helper, must have all 5 things: - Before ordering the maid to do anything, he must first know how hungry, full, warm, and cold they are so that they can have enough health and good health. please work. - When the maid is sick, must take care of the medicine and let them rest, to restore health. - When they make a mistake, it must be considered whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally.

The maid's duty to the homeowner must also meet 5 conditions: - Every morning, he must wake up before the owner, without waiting to call. - Must know what part of each day, just as usual, do it, don't wait for the master to order. - When working, you must be careful with the owner's belongings, not to be negligent or damaged. - You must respect the owner of the house with all your heart.
