Poem
Grandmaster In Chess
Soaring Into The Azure Sky
Peerless Queen
By Resident Disciple Fantastic Knight, Hsihu, Formosa (Original In Chinese)
Your graceful long hair
Is like a waterfall streaming down from the sky.
Your bright eyes
Are like sparkling, flawless blue shadows in the snow.
Your wonderful, soul-stirring voice,
Is like the relaxing wind meandering through the pine trees in the valleys.
Your fresh breath,
Is like a summer lotus adorned with pearls of morning dew.
Your light footsteps,
Are like a clear stream singing with joy,
That runs right up beside me.
I absorb this spiritual nectar of heaven and earth,
To nourish my soul and heart.
As days go by,
As if becoming a giant,
I soar through the clouds into the azure sky,
Reach out my hands to hold the sun and moon,
Only to see You, with golden light and silver powder,
Colorfully brightening the vast universe.
By Fellow Initiate Chen, Wen-Sen, Taipei, Formosa
(Originally In Chinese)
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!
By Fellow Initiate Chang Wei, Prague, Czechoslovakia
Listen to the angels sing in joy,
Behold the Gate of Heaven rumbling open,
Millions of golden rays burst forth,
For the good fortune of Earth they cheer.
A peerless Queen has come to the world.
Upholding a radiant torch that illuminates all,
Braving roaring waves of evil,
Innumerable souls are saved by Her mercy.
With blood and flesh,
She shoulders uncountable sins and shackles!
Demanding no worship or flowers,
She sails Her soul-saving raft.
Sincerity and love,
Are the emolument for Her teachings.
Behold the angels singing together in joy,
A peerless Queen has come to the world.
Comment: Deeply touched while
reading a passage in the New Testament of the Holy Bible, Matthew
12:42 that reads, "The queen of the South will rise up as the
judgement of the generation condemn it, because she came from the
ends of the Earth to listen to the wisdom of Solomon, and saw someone
greater than Solomon is here!" I, therefore, wrote this poem to
venerate our Master who has transcended the centuries to come here,
to rescue people from the abyss of evil.
