A former Alibaba executive who is worth 10 million yuan resigned and became a monk. He went from Mount Wutai to Mount Emei, and slept 2,000 kilometers in 81 days...

He was once an executive of Alibaba and one of the founders of Taobao, but he was willing to let go of the worth of tens of millions, the shackles of the world, the people and things he most attached to, and choose to become a monk in a short term and make a pilgrimage.

A person, 81 days, more than 2,000 kilometers, without any penny, begging for food alone, has been hungry, exposed, been injured, and has been confused, walked from Mount Wutai to Mount Emei, from impetuousness to tranquility, and from confusion to firmness...

He is the ghost foot seven.

2015On December 30, 2019, Guijiao Qi posted on Weibo: "Snow falls on Mount Wutai, and Buddha sits down to add new people.There is birth and death, and there is no coming and no going, and there is emptiness."It officially announced that it would be a short-term monk at Lingjing Temple in Mount Wutai, with the Dharma name "Xingkong".

Because he was a celebrity, after the news of his becoming a monk spread, some people mocked him and some questioned him. He just said calmly, "I can't control other people's ideas, I want to be myself."

Maybe you have also let go of everything and take a trip where you can go, just like Forrest Gump in Forrest Gump. He has also been running for several consecutive years, and he said he just wanted to run.Just like "Ghost Foot Seven", he just wanted to leave.Why do you care about other people’s thoughts? If you think you like it and feel valuable, just do it.

At first, he thought it would be easy to find a place to eat, just put on your gaze and ask for it.But when he climbed to the top of the mountain, he found that there was no one at all, and he was running around outside for about ten degrees below zero.I found one and found another one but there was no one...

At that time, he thought to himself: Buddha can only give it to you, I have no choice... Then he continued to move forward, and then a car really stopped and gave him a lot of food.

He said, “So when you don’t know what to do, just give it to the Buddha.”

2016On March 26, 2018, the 81st day of walking, on the day when heavy snow was blowing, the ghost foot 7 arrived in Mount Emei, Sichuan.

Someone asked him, "Have you ever thought about what to do if you can't walk Mount Emei in two months?”

“I have no idea.I don't know how long I can last.Maybe I fell ill on the road just a few days later, so I went to recuperate, and then I recovered and then started walking from there.If you can’t finish two months, just walk for a while.”

“What if you can't leave?”

“If you can't walk, you can't walk.Don’t forget: Going to Mount Emei is not the goal, walking itself is the goal.People often forget their original intentions in order to achieve their goals.”

“Then what is your original intention?”

“Practice.”

He admitted that when he was young, he valued results in everything he did.Is this good for "me" and how much money can I make?So I often worry about gains and losses.

Have gained it, and have lost it.Now, at the age of forty, he has begun to constantly subtract himself.There are fewer "purposes" and "results", and more emphasis is placed on "process" and "experience".

Because your house, car, money, work... these visible "results" are uncertain and ultimately not your own.

What really belongs to you is your experience.

Compassion believes that life is like walking, every step is a journey and also an arrival.All the things we experience count.All the roads you have taken are the only way to go.What matters is not arrival, but walking.May everyone not forget their original intentions while walking.
