Above the Great Dao

My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.

Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.

I am fearful of him too.

Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.

Even grandfather is afraid of me.

…

My name is Chen Shi.

The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.
