United for Water: Religions Speak on the Right to Water

Date: August 4, 2007 (Saturday)
Time: 8:45am to 4:30pm
Venue: Masjid Negara.

Intro:

All religions consider water as sacred and God's gift to people. Islam acribes the most sacred qualities to water as life, sustaining and purifying resources. Christianity states that in heaven and earth, water symbolizes life in its pristine form. The Orang Asli believe that water is ruai (soul) and is a sacred life force, which is a pre-requisite for life. Hinduism considers water as one of the main forces or elements of Nature, which must be respected, prayed/worshipped, conserved, and utilised as a basic need for all human beings and living things on the earth. Buddhism believes that water is one component of the five elements (fire, air, earth, water and wisdom), which form the universe.
