2026 04 常覺法師 Event by son Of Min
I thought that this experience was overall quite enjoyable. One moment I think might have been one of my favorites would be when I got to try out the wooden fish with my friends and learn from shifu. It was shaped uniquely unlike a drum, which I found quite interesting, and had a large hollow slit near the "mouth" of the instrument/wooden fish thingy. It would make a high pitched sound that sounded like my piano metronome I use at home. The rhythm was definitely learnable in 4/4 time. After that, we chanted while playing the fish, which definitely wasn't my favorite part because I'm not the best at it, but it was not too bad and we finished pretty quickly. Me and the other children then went outside to play around with footballs and tennis balls in the backyard, and I could get some fresh air.
Lunch was great, and there even was popcorn🍿! I liked the food choices that Shifu and the others had, and I quickly finished with my other friends in one of the cozy nooks near the television while chatting quietly. Afterwards we went outside again and ate ice cream. After some people left, I cleaned for a bit, and then just relaxed in the nook beside the television and then went home. I would like to do this again and this was quite memorable. 💯🌌
