The podcast "So Be It" explores the concept of accepting life's outcomes with a relaxed attitude, rooted in philosophical understanding. Jet Li and his daughter Jada discuss the meaning of "So Be It," relating it to the Chinese concept of 放下 (fangxia), which means "put it down" without giving up. They emphasize that everyone is unique, possessing inner energy and wisdom, and should respect their own perspective. Jet Li shares an anecdote about the philosopher Zhuangzi, who sang at his wife's funeral, illustrating the idea of seeing beyond the physical realm. The conversation also touches on Zen Buddhism's perspective on senses and judgments, highlighting how quickly judgments arise and lead to conflict. They conclude by sharing personal examples of applying "So Be It" in their lives, such as dealing with disagreements and accepting unforeseen circumstances.
