1. The glorious years that were once prosperous and the years that slipped to the trough
Back in the 90s of the 20th century, the period of Chinese music history was like a churning river and sea, with turbulent waves. In the baptism of the giant wheel of this era, there is a talented new generation singer Dou Wei who is fortunate to stand out, with his unique voice and sunny temperament, he instantly emerged in the music world and was promoted to a well-deserved national idol.
At that time, he could be described as infinitely beautiful, and the joint performance with Faye Wong, the queen of the music world, made countless boys and girls fascinated, and regarded them as the ideal partners in their hearts.
Dou Wei's acting career is like cooking oil on fire, record sales and concert ticket sales once reached an unprecedented level, and fans cheered and applauded one after another.
Whenever he stepped on the stage, his simple and capable outfit was as soft and dazzling as the warm sun, which made everyone present go crazy.
However, while reaping endless praise, he also reaped mountains of money. The banknotes fluttered towards him like snowflakes, converging into a sea of gold, as if it could no longer stop him from reaching the pinnacle of his career.
However, this sudden thunderbolt on a sunny day undoubtedly brought a heavy blow to Dou Wei. While losing his wife, he also lost the most solid pillar and source of motivation in his career.
Since then, Dou Wei's life and career seem to have drifted away from the glory of the past, and he has fallen into a bottomless trough.
Seeing everything he had worked so hard to build in the past fall apart and he was powerless to save it, he suffered a lot and lived like years.
2. Embark on the path of cultivation in confusion and struggle
The blow of the breakdown of the marriage undoubtedly caused Dou Wei to fall into deep confusion and confusion in life. All of his past achievements seemed meaningless, and he began to question whether he had taken the right path in life.
Once surrounded by beautiful dreams, now only the cruel reality remains.
The trauma in his heart often makes him wander at the crossroads of his life, losing his way forward. During that time, Dou Wei even came up with the idea of completely leaving this prosperous and impetuous entertainment industry and leaving everything behind and starting all over again.
But where can he go? What can be done? The hustle and bustle of the past is now only the lonely Dou Wei who indulges in it alone.
When he was confused and struggling, fate seemed to give him a glimmer of life and let him find the direction of life again. By chance, Dou Wei gained an in-depth understanding of the Buddhist culture of practice, and was deeply attracted by the profound wisdom contained in it.
Gradually, the Buddhist way of self-cultivation nourished his empty and confused mind like nectar, igniting the flame of hope for him to regain himself.
With the growing firmness of his belief in Buddhism, Dou Wei resolutely embarked on the path of cultivation. He devoted himself to meditation and meditation, letting go of his past attachments and troubles in a meditative way.
The mind, once plagued by the chaos of the world, is gradually shining with new light in the world of meditation. In a flash, Dou Wei suddenly realized that he had found the path to self-redemption, and he was determined to use the way of Buddhist practice to cleanse himself and reshape his new self.
Since then, Dou Wei has completely bid farewell to the bustling and noisy entertainment industry and devoted himself to Buddhist practice. The former superstar of the Heavenly King has now changed into a solemn monk's robe and lived an otherworldly life of cultivating immortals.
3. Perceptions and gains in practice
After stepping into the path of cultivation, Dou Wei gradually realized many unprecedented true meanings of life in Buddhism.
First, he began to move away from the illusory pursuit of fame and fortune. Every day of his Buddhist practice, he focused all his energy on improving his personal cultivation in a meditative manner.
The glory and wealth that he took for granted in the past are no longer precious in his eyes. Dou Wei gradually learned to transcend Hongchen and get rid of his inner impetuousness, just to pursue a higher level of spiritual sublimation.
Secondly, through meditation, Dou Wei began to use Buddhism to reconcile the mind and body. In this unique way of practice, he gradually moved away from the hustle and bustle of the past and returned to a more simple and natural state of life.
Meditation has made his state of mind extremely calm and serene, and he is able to maintain a calm and serene posture even in the face of life's hardships.
Moreover, the practice of Buddhism also allowed Dou Wei to always maintain a humble and broad mind. He learned to be tolerant of everything in the world and to look at his surroundings with a tolerant and peaceful gaze.
Dou Wei gradually drifted away on the path of cultivation, and he abandoned the past way of thinking about gains and losses, success and failure, and devoted himself to how to improve his spiritual realm.
Even if he occasionally encountered difficulties or setbacks in the process of cultivation, he was able to deal with them with an otherworldly attitude and showed a calm and unhurried demeanor.
Eventually, Dou Wei chose to strictly follow the Buddha's teachings as a Buddhist and use the wisdom of the Dharma to guide his daily actions. He examines himself with the depth of insight into Buddhism, keeps moving forward on the stumbling path of cultivation, always reminds himself to maintain a modest and cautious attitude, accepts all things in the world with a broad and broad mind, and truly realizes the state of life where he lets go of his past attachments and lives in the present.
On the whole, embarking on the path of cultivation enabled Dou Wei to rediscover himself and deeply understand the true meaning of life. He reinvigorated himself from his former loss and decadence and forged a new self-image.
Fourth, the pain of the past has driven change
The reason why Dou Wei was able to strengthen his determination to completely stay away from the former entertainment industry and get rid of the temptation of fame and fortune in the past is largely because he has experienced endless pain and trauma in that circle.
Recalling that period of time, the moment Faye Wong broke up with herself, the blow to Dou Wei was undoubtedly huge. He vividly remembers that he was at the peak of his career, with records and concerts sold out and fans cheering.
He and Faye Wong are like a pair made in heaven, and the two support each other, which is enviable. However, no one expected that at this critical moment, Faye Wong suddenly announced that she was going to divorce herself, completely breaking up the couple, who were regarded by everyone as a "dream couple".
This news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, and Dou Wei fell heavily from the clouds, falling all over his body. While losing his wife, he also lost the most solid pillar and support in his career.
Falling from the peak to the bottom, how desperate Dou Wei should have been at that time! Everything he had worked so hard to come out of collapsed like a papier-mâché castle in an instant, and he himself was helpless and embarrassed.
Although Dou Wei later found a new partner, married life is still full of twists and turns, and it is difficult to hide the deep trauma in his heart. Every time he reminisces about the good old days, he feels great pain and guilt.
After careful consideration, he began to look back and deeply reflect on his previous lifestyle and values, and suddenly found that he had many regrets and shortcomings. These resentments continued to haunt him like nightmares, and made him deeply realize that only by changing can he re-examine himself with a new attitude and way of life.
It was precisely because of these painful trials and tribulations that Dou Weicai finally strengthened his determination and decided to cleanse himself in the way of Buddhist practice. He decided to stay away from the entertainment industry that brought him endless harm, completely get rid of the temptation of fame and fortune in the past, repair himself with a pure and immaculate heart, and find the true meaning of life again.
If he hadn't endured too many blows and traumas, Dou Wei might not have had such a strong determination and courage to completely change the trajectory of his life.
5. The concept and practical experience of cultivating immortals
In the process of Buddhist practice, Dou Wei gradually comprehended and deeply understood the various concepts and methods of cultivating immortals.
First, he learned to examine his past and present with extreme introspection and openness. In each meditation, Dou Wei will repeatedly examine the successes and failures of the past, learn from them, and let go of the attachments in his heart.
With a pure heart, he bravely faced the ups and downs of life and eliminated the impetuousness and troubles in his heart.
At the same time, under the guidance of Buddhist teachings, Dou Wei found a lot of precious wisdom in life. He has learned to find a balance between his spiritual practice and real life, and to face the challenges and tribulations of life with a positive and optimistic attitude.
Even if you encounter a big setback, you will never be discouraged, and you will always stick to the spirit of the Dharma and adjust yourself.
More importantly, in the process, Dou Wei learned to accept all the unsatisfactory things in the world with a heart of forgiveness and tolerance. He understood that he should think calmly and understand others with empathy and compassion, rather than being complacent and arrogant.
Maintain a humble and friendly attitude, and resolve all contradictions and obstacles with love.
This unique way of practice makes Dou Wei's heart always maintain a purity and peace, and it also makes him understand the true meaning of life! He has resolutely broken free from the trivialities of Vanity Fair, transcended the distractions of the world, and sought the highest level of spiritual freedom and liberation.
The most precious thing in life is not those fleeting and empty honors, but the quiet and open heart and self-satisfied lifestyle.
It is precisely because of this profound realization that Dou Wei was able to completely let go of all the shackles of the past, devote himself to cultivation, and live a life without contention with the world. He often indulges in the baptism of the Dharma, absorbs the wisdom of the Dharma to nourish his heart, and uses the methods of the Dharma to purify the soul, so as to achieve a state of detachment from body and mind.
Sixth, the end of the concept and message
Today's Dou Wei has completely got rid of the shadow brought to him by the entertainment industry in the past, and has lived an extraordinary life of cultivating immortals. With an unprecedentedly broad vision, he examines the illusory and impermanence of the world, and leads the pace of his life with the wisdom and concentration of Buddhist practice.
Dou Wei knows that people's excessive pursuit of those short-lived and illusory achievements of fame and fortune is really obsessive and ridiculous. These so-called achievements do not give people true happiness and peace, but instead lock people's hearts and minds in the shackles of the world, and there is no day to turn over.
Only by freeing ourselves from all worldly shackles and devoting ourselves wholeheartedly to Buddhism, as he did, can we achieve true inner freedom and liberation.
Therefore, Dou Wei hopes that people in the world can appreciate the beauty of life with an open and tolerant heart, and actively pursue inner peace in the present. Cherish what you have in front of you, and accept the imperfections and flaws of the world with positive energy and a broad mind.
With a tolerant and friendly mind, embrace everyone and everything you meet, and face differences and conflicts with understanding and compassion. This is the only way to be happy.
Dou Wei's current life is practicing this path of self-cultivation. With a pious and humble attitude, he meditated and practiced penance every day, purifying his inner impetuosity and seeking inner peace and freedom.
He has always been a strong advocate for the people around him to be like him, with a broad and inclusive mind to meet all the circumstances of life, get rid of the hustle and bustle of the world, and enjoy the leisurely content that belongs to him.
All in all, Dou Wei's current living situation can be said to have successfully walked out of the predicament of the entertainment industry in the past, and once again found the true meaning and values of life.
