It is sad to say this but as my practice increases my desire for Chess decreases. I still play just not to the extent I did. But, my joy has been increasing though and this weekend gave me a chance to meet a wonderful person, The Venerable Wuling. The retreat was a short one day but the lessons I learned will last a lifetime (hopefully the last one) ;) The talk she gave was on Practicing Buddhism and we had a Q&A session with her. I will be posting this on my blog later on this month.
