Martial arts legend and international movie star Jet Li distils 10 powerful insights from his iconic career, his personal life and philosophies, and his 30-year Buddhist practice.
Jet Li’s story defies legend. Born into extreme hardship, he fought his way to become the youngest national martial arts champion in Chinese history at 12 years old, dominating opponents twice his size. He then became one of the first internationally renowned movie stars from China with films including Once Upon a Time in China, Hero and Fearless. These films redefined martial arts for the modern world, making him a household name.
But behind the glory lay a deeper battle: a search for meaning beyond fame, fortune and physical skill. After a near-death encounter in the 2004 tsunami, Li turned inwards, deepening his study of Tibetan Buddhism and dedicating his life to philanthropy, though he was at the height of his Hollywood career.
For the very first time, Li shares the ten insights that have guided his life, in which anyone can find wisdom, guidance, and power, including:
· Life is movement
· The secret to self-defence
· Separate the suffering from the pain
· Be a grandson to the world
· Learn from everyone.
Li invites readers to share his interior life, to hear untold stories from his martial arts and film career, and to meditate with him on the nature of spiritual awakening. If you look deeply, you can see Li’s life philosophy in many of his movies, and in Beyond Life and Death he fully links his own story and spiritual journey with 10 actionable insights that anyone can apply to live a healthy and happy life.
