In addition to his prolific acting career, Li founded the One Foundation after surviving the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami. His intention was to nurture a culture of philanthropy in China and introduce a new model of giving to the world by building community and finding ways for people to make micro-donations or give back over time, building on the idea of ​​a global human family.

Li has been studying Tibetan Buddhism since 1997, Jet, under masters such as Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche, Lho Kunzang Rinpoche and Khenpo Tsultrim Lodro.

Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche, founder of the Tergar meditation community, which has centers and practice groups around the world, is a renowned teacher and best-selling author whose books include: The joy of living: discovering the secret and the science of happiness (2007); Joyful Wisdom: Embracing Change and Finding Freedom (2009); And Turning Confusion into Clarity: A Guide to the Fundamental Practices of Tibetan Buddhism (2014)

Born in 1975 in the Himalayan border region between Tibet and Nepal, Mingyur Rinpoche received extensive training in the meditative and philosophical traditions of Tibetan Buddhism from his father, Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche (1920-1996), considered one of the greatest modern Dzogchen masters, and then at Sherab Ling Monastery in northern India. After only two years, at the age of 13, Mingyur Rinpoche entered a three-year meditation retreat, then completed a second one immediately afterward, as a retreat master. At the age of 23, Rinpoche received full monastic ordination.

Mingyur Rinpoche undertook a four-year solitary wandering retreat through the Himalayas from 2011 to 2015. In recounting how he came to terms with the realities of his ambition to practice as a wandering yogi, Rinpoche revealed that he faced many personal and spiritual challenges, including, at one point, his own mortality. Rinpoche described the years he spent wandering in the Himalayas as “one of the best times of my life.”*
