Tao Te Ching: Frugality to cultivate virtue

Early restoration, called heavy accumulation of virtue: from morning to night, not only in the morning to save, from morning to night to save. In short, from birth to death, that is, all his life, he must be diligent and thrifty, and not extravagant and wasteful, which is called attaching importance to the accumulation of merit.

I was in elementary school in the 1970s, when there was a period of extreme material scarcity, when the supply of goods was relatively tight, and people at that time were very frugal and calculating. Nothing was wasted. We now have good living conditions, many people do not know how to be frugal, meals can not be eaten on the dump, especially every New Year's Festival, see a lot of steamed buns, meat, vegetables in the garbage can are thrown away, it is very painful to see. A grain of rice, a thousand drops of sweat, and grain are all exchanged for beads of sweat. Food is hard-won.

So we don't waste, we must develop a good habit of frugality, thrift and thrift is the accumulation of virtue. Frugality to cultivate morality. Those who have virtue will have gains, and if we continue to accumulate our own merits, the road of life will become smoother and smoother.

Quiet and unhurried
