Volunteer.
Veteran actor Jet Li, 63, and his 23-year-old daughter Jada visited Bhutan to volunteer in the construction of 108 stupas within a single day. In an Instagram post, the martial arts star shared photos of the event, which took place on November 1 at Gelephu Mindfulness City. Li expressed his humility and honor at being invited to participate in the historic endeavor, stating that he hoped the build would bring joy and benefit to many.
He also extended his gratitude to the King and Queen of Bhutan for their invitation. Li's daughter Jada accompanied him during the visit.
Lianhe Zaobao reported that Jet Li has been increasingly involved in Buddhist activities in recent years, appearing at major Buddhist events since he retired from acting. The construction project, part of Project 108, was initiated by Bhutan's King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck. The initiative aimed to erect 108 Stupas of Enlightenment in a single day, symbolizing spiritual enlightenment.
The Associated Press stated that approximately 200,000 people gathered in Gelephu on November 1 to witness the volunteers raise the stupas, with each stupa reaching a height of 15 meters and spaced 108 meters apart along the river.
