Your Life as A Game of Chess

Buddhism speaks of karma and the Law of Cause and Effect. In the Chinese Metaphysics art of Bazi, we talk about the favorable and unfavorable elements.

The seeds you sowed in previous lives will bear fruits this lifetime. These intricacies are encoded in your Bazi, facial and bodily features.

When a person is enjoying the fruits of virtues, such as success in his career, harmony in his family, crescendo in his health, positivity in his emotions, etc, he is bound to be surrounded by his favorable elements support his ascending fortunes.

On the contrary, when one is reaping the fruits of his non-virtues, misfortunes abound such as a flagging career, broken family, ailing body, tormenting emotions, etc, he is held captive by his unfavorable elements. Like in a game of Chinese chess he is destined to lose, a check-mate will eventually push him into a trap of anxiety and hopelessness.

In the art of Bazi, we seek to understand our destiny to plug the holes of misfortunes. Simply put, it is learning how to make use of our favorable elements as well as how to evade the unfavorable ones. In this way, we ride the waves of good fortune and avoid the rogue waves of misfortunes.

Mr Jun Jie is a client from the USA whom I saw during the end of May. USA is the western country which I had the most clients for my Zoom consultations.

Many of my clients inevitably choose their career path based on dollars and cents. But the high-paying career of Mr. A may not yield the same rewards for Mr B because their Bazi are different. Therefore, please do not follow another blindly.

Mr Jun Jie is one who has a strong opinion about his own career choice. During the Zoom session, I told him many truths of his Bazi, and advised him what he can and cannot do, with my explanation.

Five months on, I received a thank-you email from him. I learnt, with much surprise, that he had made a wise choice. After all, he is an opinionated person and definitely not someone who changes his mind easily. 😄

At this juncture, I would like to thank Mr Jun Jie for sharing his experience to encourage those who might be facing uncertainties in their own game of life.

A common question I get: How do we transform our destiny?

My simple answer: Wisdom.

You must first possess the wisdom and awareness that your destiny is not set in stone. Then, you seek out the real military adviser, who can help you make decisive moves to save yourself from certain defeats and emerge victorious in life.

Life is like a game of chess. Victory is often achieved with wisdom, guts and perseverance.

You are the chess player, and I am your strategist.
