“Happy Lantern Festival!” Many blessings to everyone observing (or getting ready to observe) Lent. Peace, ease, and inspiration to all throughout this “Season for Nonviolence” and all other seasons!
“What you should keep after giving to someone…”
— a riddle* (everything here is a clue & the answer, highlight the end for the answer)
Please join me today (Saturday, February 24th) at 12:00 PM for a yoga practice on Zoom. You can use the link from the “Class Schedules” calendar if you run into any problems checking into the class. You can request an audio recording of this practice via a comment below or (for a slightly faster reply) you can email myra (at) ajoyfulpractice.com.
Saturday playlist is available on YouTube and Spotify. [Look for “Lantern Festival 2023”]
*RIDDLE NOTE: The riddles at the bottom (or sometimes underneath) the lanterns [used during the Lantern Festival], are literally called “riddles written on lanterns,” but are sometimes referred to as “tiger riddles,” because solving them (in Chinese) is akin to wrestling a tiger. They often have three parts: the riddle, a hint or suggestion (see above), and the answer. In this case, I took a page from Dongfang Shuo’s book and only gave you part of an English riddle so that instead of having one definite answer, there are three possible answers. Highlight the space between the hashtags for the answers.
In the spirit of generosity (“dana”), the Zoom classes, recordings, and blog posts are freely given and freely received.
