  有一天晚上,一名弟子提水為儀山禪師洗腳,由於水太燙,弟子趕緊加一點冷水進去,隨手就倒掉了剩下的半桶冷水。儀山禪師生氣說道:「即使是一滴水,也能給饑渴的人解渴,給草木花卉滋長的因緣。一滴水蘊含天地無限的生機,你這樣輕易把水倒掉,怎麼能和諸佛接心,與祖師相應?」這位弟子受了儀山禪師的教悔,從此改名「滴水」。
  他一生以「滴水」為名,大家尊稱他為「滴水和尚」;滴水和尚說法時,不談玄妙之事,只是一再告誡人們要珍惜滴水物資,他認為滴水資源若能珍惜,心意必然淳淨,自然能耳聞大千潺潺法音,親睹溪花山色的剎塵佛土。
  真正的修行人,與其談誦萬卷經偈,不如從護念身邊萬物萬事做起。因為佛法的真義不在高高的藏經樓,而是在日常珍惜一針一線、一草一木,開發柔軟的慈悲心。
  睒子菩薩走路時不敢用力,怕把大地踩痛;說話時不敢大聲,怕驚擾熟睡的山河風景。他對無情萬象,以深情款款相待,聆聽他們的需要,他的心和天地同眠起,和萬物共呼吸。
  殺生,不只是對待人和動物、蟲蟻蚊蚋等生命體的殘暴態度,凡是點滴的物質,任意浪費糟蹋,都是殺生。即使是家中的衣服、桌椅、家具等,你不愛惜它,縮短使用的時間,這何嘗不是另一種形式的「殺生」行為?
  如果我們能從一滴水中看到無上的妙法,定能愛惜眼前點滴因緣。能夠視萬物如一滴水,珍惜、愛惜它,即使是天寒地凍的時節,我們的胸懷依然是春日微薰,滿園蜂蝶飄舞。(心樺)
