One day, the faucet in the bathroom started leaking.

It dripped every few seconds.

Master Cheng Yen put a basin underneath and said,

"Tomorrow morning, there will be enough water for me to wash my face."

The next morning, after washing her hands and face in the basin,

the Master poured the water into the toilet to flush it.
