Just in time for Halloween!

Dare to Imagine?

Mythical world of Dragons exists in daily life, unseen!











Halloween originally known as “All Hallows' Eve” or” All Saints' Eve”,  is an age-old tradition that was once celebrated by Celtic peoples. Ancient Celtic harvest festivals, particularly the Gaelic festival Samhain, definitely have had their pagan roots. Later on Samhain may have been Christianized and so resultantly it became known as All Hallows Day.

  This particular time was dedicated to remembering the dead, including saints (hallows) martyrs, and all the faithful that had been departed.

 Did you know that some Christians historically abstained from eating meat on "All Hallows' Eve"? Instead, the traditional preference went with the vegetarian foods on this vigil day, including apples, potato pancakes, and soul cakes.

 Halloween is usually observed on 31 October; however, this year because of the COVID 19, this annual event will most certainly be postponed.  But you can still celebrate it, by creative ways, safely at home.

 

Happy Halloween.

A Time to Die




A Time to Die

(Zen Koan) 



Ikkyu, the Zen master, was very clever even as a boy. His teacher had a precious teacup, a rare antique. Ikkyu happened to break this cup and was greatly perplexed.

Hearing the footsteps of his teacher, he held the pieces of the cup behind him. When the master appeared, Ikkyu asked: “Why do people have to die?”

“This is natural,” explained the older man. “Everything has to die and has just so long to live.”

Ikkyu, producing the shattered cup, added: “It was time for your cup to die.”
