Concentrate on the actual bloom of the flower and keep a particular flower in mind. Try a rose a tulip or a daisy since none of them will have their own kanji. 3 Y Z 223 0 young Here we see a flower held in the right hand. You can imagine yourself in a magic garden where flowers picked with the right hand grant eternal youth and those picked with the left premature senility. Go ahead pick one with each hand and watch what happens. 8 -Ạ -Ạ 1 -A Ỉ A Ỉ -A Ỉ -A Ỉ -A Ỉ a b c d 224 u grass Perhaps you know the custom of seeding grass randomly or in some particular pattern with the flower called the crocus which blooms for a few days each year in early spring. As the grass begins to turn green again after winter has passed these tiny flowers dot up here and there. Now just look out your window at a patch of grass somewhere and think what a nice idea it would be to have your name spelled out in flowers once as a sort of early harbinger of spring. 9 - -1 - - - -ỉ - -Hr -fr h i j k 1 m 104 Remembering the Kanji 225 4-h suffering N The picture of suffering we are given here is that of a flower that has grown old.

Tolerance in contrast is open-minded and welcomes novelty. The way to encourage tolerance in those who lack it is first to have them see through their own hothouse attitudes which is the very counsel we are given in this kanji. 13 w x y z w f 227 V .
