Kind Water Healed the Father!l

Kindness healed the Father!
An old man who was dying. His son called on a very experienced Chinese medicine doctor. The doctor said that the disease was difficult to cure. The son kneeled down and asked the doctor to save his father’s life. The doctor was moved by the young man’s filial piety, so he wrote a prescription and said the prescription must be decocted with water that had been raised up a thousand times. The doctor put a big vat of water beside the old man’s bed. The son used the water ladle to repeat raising up the water in front of his father. His father was deeply moved because his son stayed up the whole night to raise up the water in order to cure the father’s illness. After the old man took the decoction, he got well very soon.
From this story, we can see that the water was not the key to curing the old man’s illness, and neither was the oxygen in the water. It was because of the son’s filial piety. The ancients thought highly of filial piety. They regarded it as a virtue that human beings should have. A sincere and kind heart really can change one’s environment.
