Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm

High up in the cloud-capped sky,

Sun Wukong said, "Bodhisattva, that dead and silent place below is the Chess of Life and Death City."

Buddha Tathagata was blocked by Lord Lao, but the Buddhist sect had still sent reinforcement.

As the words fell, the Chessboard of Life and Death rose
