为什么圣人都说“水”最好？
今天我们来聊一聊：
为什么孔子、老子、佛祖，甚至风水学都说“水”最好？
老子在《道德经》第八章说：
“上善若水，水善利万物而不争。”
意思是最好的品德，就像水一样。
水默默地滋养万物，从不与人争夺，
但它却流遍天下，惠及众生。
水处在最低的位置，
却成就了最高的价值。
做人若能像水，懂得谦让，懂得包容，自然赢得真正的尊重。
水遇热变成蒸汽，遇冷变成冰，常温守静。
外在形态随境而变，
但水的本质H₂O永远不变。
这启示我们：外圆内方，守住本心。
佛祖也说：“善心如水。”
水能润泽生命，能洗净污垢，
也能带来清凉与宁静。
水有柔的力量，也有巨大的力量。
它能浮舟，也能覆舟，
能温柔包容，也能冲破万难。
风水学里有一句话：
“山管人丁，水管财。”
水代表财富，代表流动，代表生机。
你看世界上的四大文明，
黄河文明、印度河文明、尼罗河文明都在“水”边诞生。
现代的大城市
新加坡、香港、纽约，也几乎都在水旁。
因为哪里有水，哪里就有繁荣和活力。
连孔子也说：“智者乐水。”
因为水懂得顺应环境，能刚能柔，能进能退。
它有方向，却不执着路径。
它遇山绕行，终归大海。
做人若能像水，
在复杂的世界中才能走得远，活得稳。
你知道吗？我们人体有70%是水。
你，就是行走的风水！
水若清，身就清；
心若静，气就顺。
浮躁时，学水沉淀，杂念自然消；
遇阻碍，学水绕行，终将归海而不偏离目标。
所以，不管你是学风水，修佛法，还是做儒家君子
都要学水的智慧。

愿大家都能：
心如止水，气如长河，财源如流水。
Why Do All Sages Say "Water" is Best?
Today, let's discuss:
Why do Confucius, Laozi, Buddha, and even Feng
Shui all say that "water" is best?
In Chapter 8 of the Tao Te Ching, Laozi said:
"The highest goodness is like water.
Water greatly benefits all things without contention."
This means the best virtue is like water.
Water silently nourishes all things, never
competing with anyone,
yet it flows everywhere, benefiting all
beings.
Water resides in the lowest places,
yet achieves the highest value.
If one can be like water—humble, tolerant, and
accommodating—they will naturally earn genuine respect.
Water turns into vapor when heated and ice
when cooled, remaining calm at normal temperatures.
Its external form changes with the
environment,
but its essence, H₂O, remains unchanged.
This teaches us to be adaptable externally
while坚守本心 (holding firm to our core principles).
Buddha also said, "A compassionate heart
is like water."
Water can nourish life, cleanse impurities,
and bring coolness and tranquility.
Water possesses both softness and immense
power.
It can float a boat or capsize it,
gently包容 (embrace) or break
through all obstacles.
In Feng Shui, there is a saying:
"Mountains govern people, water governs
wealth."
Water represents wealth, flow, and vitality.
Look at the world's four great ancient
civilizations—
the Yellow River, Indus River, and Nile River
civilizations—all originated by "water."
Modern major cities like
Singapore, Hong Kong, and New York are also
almost always located near water.
Because where there is water, there is
prosperity and vitality.
Even Confucius said, "The wise find joy
in water."
Because water adapts to its environment, can
be both strong and soft, advancing and retreating as needed.
It has a direction but is not rigid about its
path.
It flows around mountains, eventually reaching
the sea.
If one can be like water,
they can go far and live steadily in this
complex world.
Did you know? Our bodies are 70% water.
You are walking Feng Shui!
If water is clear, the body is clear;
if the heart is calm, the energy flows
smoothly.
When restless, learn from water to settle, and
distractions will naturally dissipate;
when facing obstacles, learn from water to
flow around them, ultimately reaching the sea without deviating from the goal.
So, whether you study Feng Shui, practice
Buddhism, or aspire to be a Confucian gentleman,
learn the wisdom of water.
I am Master Lee from Penang Feng Shui.
May everyone:
Have a heart as calm as still water, energy as
vast as a long river, and wealth flowing like a continuous stream.
