In the glamorous and sparkling city of Hong Kong, there was once a high-profile star, Ho Po Sang.
His heroic appearance, noble background and outstanding acting talent seem to make him have the ultimate luck and happiness in the world.
However, when everyone was full of expectations that he would continue to move forward on the hustle and bustle of the world, pursuing fame, fortune and power, He Baosheng made a decision that shocked the world - to become a monk and pursue spiritual detachment.
Why is a wealthy son who should have returned to his hometown and enjoyed the glory and wealth willing to abandon the rich assets worth up to 267 billion yuan and the brilliant prospects at the peak of his career?
It turned out that beneath his handsome and charming exterior was a tired, confused and helpless soul.
Once, his obsession with money had surpassed all his desire for life, and even in a big gamble, he was arrogant and lost an astonishing fortune of up to 100 million yuan.
However, after losing this wealth, the hole filled by money in his heart instantly surged out like a torrent of dam breaking, forcing him to start thinking about the true meaning and value of life.
It was this confusion and confusion in life that eventually led him to strengthen his faith and embark on a new journey to convert to Buddhism and seek liberation.
Ho Po grew up in Hong Kong's well-respected Po Sang banking family, and lived a luxurious and comfortable life since childhood.
There are many personal valets in the family to provide him with all-round care, whether it is clothing, food, housing, and transportation, they are all perfect, so that this young master will not be troubled and hardships in the slightest life.
He is always surrounded by a host of high-class people, such as nannies, bodyguards and chauffeurs, who are always on hand to meet his every need.
Even when it comes to food, Ho has never tasted the home-cooked dishes of ordinary families, and the chefs around him always carefully select the best ingredients in the market to cook delicious dishes for him.
It is precisely with his outstanding appearance and superior educational background that He Baosheng quickly became popular and single-handedly broke out a sky of his own in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In his film debut on stage, he shared a dazzling green field with superstars Aaron Kwok and Wu Zhenyu!
Since then, he has starred in many film and television dramas with good reputation and popularity, box office and ratings, especially his superb performance in the classic martial arts masterpiece "Smiling Proud Jianghu", which has won warm praise and high praise from the audience.
Just as his acting career was thriving and prosperous, a gambling failure brought him an unprecedented heavy blow.
Late that night in 2003, the gambling star lost a staggering 100 million yuan in a casino.
For ordinary people, losing 100 million yuan is undoubtedly shocking bad news, enough to plunge us into endless frustration and despair.
However, for a rich kid like He Baosheng who was born in a wealthy family and had a lot of money, the loss of this money may only be a trivial setback, and it cannot cause him too many emotional waves.
However, it was precisely this painful failure of gambling that caused an unprecedented shock in his heart.
He Baosheng, who has lived in an environment surrounded by fine clothes, jade food and treasures since he was a child, has never truly experienced the importance and preciousness of money for ordinary people.
He habitually squandered his family's fortune and lived a carefree, lavish life, until he experienced the great loss at the table for the first time.
More importantly, this serious economic loss also made He Baosheng, who was once obsessed with money and status, reflect on his life's pursuit and the value of life for the first time.
What is left of the world for him besides money and wealth? Are those vain fame, fortune and superficial love life really all he is pursuing?
At this critical moment, he seemed to see through the emptiness and illusion of secular life for the first time, and the idea of staying away from the hustle and bustle began to sprout in his heart.
In addition to smooth sailing in his career, his love life has always been a big shadow on He Baosheng's life path.
He has experienced four emotional entanglements in his life, the most well-known of which is his love affair with Fu Mingxian, "Guo Fu" in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and a brief scandal with Fan Yimin, a well-known actress who once abandoned Wu Jing.
Although Ho Po-sang's previous ex-girlfriends are all outstanding women who are beautiful and thriving in their careers, no matter whether they have a prominent background or a career that has died down, they cannot once again capture the heart of this golden bachelor.
Whenever the relationship ends, He Baosheng, who is extremely lonely in his heart, always falls into a deep and confused fog, and even begins to question whether his pursuit of the emotional world is legitimate.
The tragic emotional experience caused He Baosheng to feel more and more disgusted and resistant to the busy and chaotic daily life.
He began to yearn for a nobler, more meaningful way of life and a purpose in life, and monasticism became the best way for him to regain peace of mind.
After a long period of bohemian indulgence and luxury, Ho made the most important decision of his life in 2005 – he was ordained as a monk at Po Lam Monastery on Lantau Island, Hong Kong, and named "Tao Sheng".
In this way, the once high-profile diamond king Lao Wu completely bid farewell to the bustling and noisy secular life and lived a simple, unpretentious, pure and leisurely monastic life.
In fact, long before he officially became a monk, He Baosheng's heart began to yearn for the quiet life of the ancient Zen temple.
According to his friend, the famous actor Lu Songxian, when they co-starred in the TV series "Smiling Proud Jianghu", He Baosheng often discussed Buddhism and Zen with him, and was full of endless praise for the indifferent and quiet life of the monks.
Sometimes he would even go to the temple in person to ask the monks for advice on the way of cultivation, and it seemed that he had developed a deep attachment to the monastic life.
It can be said that since the failure of the 100 million yuan gamble, He Baosheng's obsession with money and status has begun to waver. Coupled with the repeated frustrations of his love life and the emptiness of not being able to get real satisfaction from his worldly life, his enthusiasm and yearning for the world are gone.
Therefore, ordination became the ultimate destination for him to seek spiritual liberation.
In this way, a top star in Hong Kong, who once had a fortune of up to 26.7 billion yuan and was envied by the world, finally chose to stay away from the world and embarked on the road of becoming a monk.
The emotion in his mouth, "I have nothing but money", may be the biggest motivation and source of his shocking decision.
Abandoning the family's rich wealth and brilliant business achievements, this person, whose full name is He Baosheng, resolutely chose to escape into the empty door. This move may be shocking to others, but it is also the ultimate solution to the pain and entanglement that He Bao has been suffering from since he grew up!
The definition of happiness varies from person to person. For He Baosheng, his prominent status and material abundance could not fill the hollowness and irritability in his heart.
On the contrary, the freshness and indifference from the ancient temples in the deep mountains, and the soul purification in the influence of Buddhism, can allow him to find the long-lost inner peace and the liberation of the otherworldly body.
Based on this persistent pursuit, He Baosheng decided to embark on the path of spiritual search for the true meaning. Far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, he found peace of mind that he had never felt in the quiet temple, and also regained the courage and strength to control his heart.
From then on, he will spend the rest of his life exploring the deeper spiritual teachings and values of life.
