Grandmaster In Chess

◎By Fellow Initiate Chen, Wen-Sen, Taipei, Formosa

In the chess game that lasts many lifetimes,
It was I versus my brain,
It was I who was defeated, billions of times.

Across the wide river of life and death,
We once again face each other.

Every second in front of me,
I will be cautious, concentrated and absorbed,
Planning far ahead for a solid strategy,
Thinking deeply before I make each move,

In fear that one wrong move
Might lead to a defeat across the board.
I might only be a pawn,
Yet I could vanquish the king.

This lifetime around,
I can definitely take the king by surprise,
And capture his colors.

It is because
Supreme Master Ching Hai is my Grandmaster in chess!
