Sodargye, a well-known Tibetan Buddhist teacher, recently released a new book in Chinese.
Titled Ni Zai Mang Shenme (What Are You Busy Doing?), it offers tips on how to apply the wisdom of Buddhism to fast-paced lives in today's world.
Born in Garze county of the Tibetan autonomous prefecture in Sichuan province, Sodargye spent his early years reciting Buddhist sutras while herding cattle in the mountainous area in southwestern China.
Now, his Sina Weibo micro-blog account is followed by nearly 2 million users. He explains the Buddhist philosophy in a layman's language on social media.
"Nowadays, everyone is busy doing things, not only in the physical world but also inside a person's mind. But few know what they are really busy with," Sodargye, 53, writes in the preface to his book.
"Therefore, it is more important to seek wisdom for a peaceful mind. This wisdom is everywhere in Buddhism."
