The meaning of this old saying is to tell everyone that some people can even give up their lives for money, and loving money more than life will not end well in the end.

Under the great pressure of survival in today's society, many people are constantly rushing for their lives and making great efforts to have money to take root in big cities.

But today's story is about a man who put his money aside. For his beliefs, he gave up hundreds of millions of property that many people could not get all their lives and became a Buddhist.

He is a master of Shi Haitao. In order to believe in Buddhism, he gave up his status as a billionaire and left his family. What's the story behind this? Shi Haitao was born in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan Province Province on 1958. His family believes in Christianity. At that time, most people in Taiwan Province Province believed in Christianity and were influenced by Christians around them. Shi Haitao also became a Christian in junior high school, but later became a Buddhist mage. What is Shi Haitao's life experience?

Shi Haitao's family conditions are very good. His father went into business and went to college. After graduation, he could have found a job in his own company, but Shi Haitao wanted to live by his own efforts. He has great ideas and talents in this field, and has made some achievements and made some money through his own efforts.

After graduating from college, Shi Haitao met and fell in love with his ex-wife, and finally got married and started a family. After marriage, Shi Haitao was still eager to do better, so he put all his thoughts and energy into his career. Through hard work, Shi Haitao's career spread all over the world, and his assets reached several hundred million yuan.

Although Shi Haitao, whose career is booming, is worth more and more, his relationship with his wife is gradually alienated due to his constant concern for his career. Shi Haitao, unable to balance career and family, suddenly felt extremely tired. At this time, Shi Haitao hoped to get peace from the restless heart of religion.

So Shi Haitao began to contact Buddhism and Taoism, but after contact, Shi Haitao felt that Taoism could not bring him inner peace, so he began to contact Buddhism wholeheartedly.

199 1 year, Shi Haitao went to Taibei and was destined to attend a lecture in Huiri Lecture Hall, which became a turning point in Shi Haitao. He found spiritual sustenance from Buddhist lectures.

After practicing for a period of time, Shi Haitao felt an unprecedented peace of mind. Later, Shi Haitao began to immerse himself in Buddhism, and no one was in charge of things in the company. Later, Shi Haitao's mother fell ill, and Shi Haitao felt very guilty about her illness, so he gave up everything and devoted himself to chanting scriptures every day, hoping that the Buddha could survive his mother's disaster.

Looking at his mother who was tortured by the disease, Shi Haitao, a devout mage, is willing to become a monk and serve the Buddha all his life if his mother can tide over the difficulties. Perhaps it was Shi Haitao's sincerity that moved the sky. His mother's condition improved, and then she gradually recovered.

After his mother recovered, Shi Haitao decided to give up everything and convert to Buddhism.

Shi Haitao has been a monk for 28 years now. In these years, Shi Haitao has been painstakingly studying Buddhism, so he has made achievements in Buddhism and gained his own understanding. Since then, Shi Haitao has started his own missionary road. He began to travel all over the country to publicize Buddhism and organize some release activities to raise people's understanding of Buddhism.

Later, Shi Haitao became the last famous monk in Taiwan Province Province, and many Buddhists worshipped him. Shi Haitao, whose popularity is getting higher and higher, has always paid close attention to and attached great importance to cross-strait relations. He often comes to the mainland with his followers, organizes Buddhist propaganda and exchange activities, and does his part to bring cross-strait relations closer.

Shi Haitao's ex-wife also became a devout Buddhist under her influence. Although their feelings have become a thing of the past, they all found the true meaning of life in Buddhism.

In fact, Shi Haitao's mother never made a statement about Shi Haitao becoming a monk. Although her mother has been waiting for Shi Haitao to come home, she still supports what her son is doing.

Shi Haitao gave up his billions of possessions and family to enter Buddhism and abided by strict rules and regulations, but he realized the true meaning of his life and always followed his inner pursuit. How many people in the world are like him?
