in may 2023, the entertainment industry was in an uproar.

a photo went viral online, and the monk in the picture turned out to be the once-glorious "dinosaur brother" lin weiliang.

thirteen years ago, he was a hong kong movie star walking the red carpet and shooting blockbusters. now, he wears a simple monk's robe and takes photos with tourists with a kind smile on his face.

from being the center of attention to being unknown, what kind of life transition did lin weiliang experience?

is he really practicing in the temple donated by li ka-shing?

is all this just hype or is he really disillusioned with the world?

when talking about lin weiliang, we have to mention his legendary acting career.

this guy's life experience is even more exciting than a tv drama!

do you still remember the hong kong entertainment industry in the 1990s? that was the golden age when all the stars were shining!

lin weiliang came out of nowhere at this time. why? because of his muscles that could make girls crazy.

don't think he is just a vase, this brother has real skills.

a lifeguard and a swimming coach, he is proficient in both jobs and is simply a walking hormone-producing machine.

fate always likes to play jokes on powerful people.

lin weiliang accidentally became the personal trainer of the popular goddess zhou haimei. this plot is simply the standard of idol dramas!

as expected, the two fell in love and caused a sensational scandal.

although they broke up in the end due to personality incompatibility, this experience made lin weiliang famous in the entertainment industry.

just when everyone thought he was going to rely on scandals to get ahead, lin weiliang slapped everyone in the face with his actual strength.

in 1995, stephen chow's "the soul returns at night" was released.

lin weiliang plays the role of "dinosaur brother" in the film, who is so domineering and his acting skills are explosive.

overnight, he went from being "zhou haimei's ex-boyfriend" to a hot new star.

in the following days, lin weiliang was in high spirits and was on a roll.

"young and dangerous 1997" and "the big boss", one hit movie after another, have helped him gain a firm foothold.

just when he was about to reach the pinnacle of the hong kong film industry, who would have thought that lam wai-leung would make a 180-degree turn.

just when everyone thought he would continue to make a big splash in the entertainment industry, lin weiliang made a surprising decision.

quit the entertainment industry and become a monk.

when this news came out, it was like throwing a bomb into a calm lake, and the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar.

everyone is speculating: did he encounter some setbacks? are he tired of the intrigues in the entertainment industry?

but lin weiliang's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.

lin weiliang's answer made everyone drop their jaws.

"i just want to find inner peace and live a simple and pure life," he said.

this sounds like something from an idol drama, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be something difficult to understand.

after all, after working in the world of fame and fortune for so many years, who doesn’t have the urge to escape?

in 2010, lin weiliang resolutely became a monk and took the buddhist name "yanwei".

at this moment, he seemed to have taken off all his halos, leaving only the purest self.

however, don't think that becoming a monk means isolating yourself from the world and chanting sutras and meditating all day long.

in 2013, lin weiliang came to tsz shan monastery in hong kong, which is no ordinary temple.

mr. li ka-shing spent hk$1.5 billion to build this super luxurious temple.

just imagine, the transformation from the film set to the buddhist temple is too dramatic.

however, lin weiliang is a monk with ideas.

he formed a basketball team in the temple and became the coach himself.

the scene of a group of monks sweating on the basketball court is so interesting.

lin weiliang also often invites friends in the circle, such as alex fong, ada choi and others to the temple to play friendly matches.

this operation is simply the perfect combination of buddhism and fashion.

"both basketball and buddhism are about teamwork and inner peace," he said.

this may sound a bit mysterious, but if you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

on the court, you need to think calmly and work as a team; in spiritual practice, you also need to calm your mind and live in harmony with others.

lin weiliang perfectly combines buddhism and basketball in his own way to spread positive energy.

this operation is simply the perfect combination of buddhism and fashion.

watching lin weiliang instructing young monks on the basketball court, his expression and movements seemed to bring me back to the days when he was instructing newcomers on the set.

however, now, his eyes are clearer and his smile is more peaceful.

some said it was a waste of his talent.

but i think this is another manifestation of his talent.
