[Entertainment Channel/Comprehensive Report] Master Xingyun, the founding patriarch of Fo Guang Shan, passed away yesterday afternoon (5th) at the age of 97.

Many celebrities in the show business circle have become associated with Master Xingyun and have been influenced by his great teaching, such as Aaron Kwok, Meng Tingwei, Kuang Mingjie and Shen Chunhua, etc. Lin Xinru was even given the Dharma name "Dingru" by Master Xingyun himself.

According to the "Human News Agency" founded by Master Xingyun, Ruby Lin converted to Buddhism 19 years ago at the Fo Guang Shan Dojo in Osaka, Japan, and became a lay disciple of Master Xingyun.

At that time, Master Hsing Yun bestowed the dharma name "Dingru" on Lin Hsinju, encouraging her not to follow the trend in the complicated show business circle, but to be at peace.

Now Lin Hsinju adheres to the attitude of "slowing down her own pace" in life, and is step by step in the busy show business circle, stabilizing her own pace.

Hong Kong star Aaron Kwok was introduced by a friend and was moved by Master Hsing Yun's outlook on life. Later, he converted to Buddhism and was named "Shanpu".

In the past, he made a special trip to Taiwan to sing for charity. Master Hsing Yun wrote the lyrics for the two songs "Pray" and "Heaven on Earth".

At that time Master Hsing Yun even invited Aaron Kwok to perform in a drama on Human Satellite TV and encouraged him to be Hong Kong's Elvis King.

Kuang Mingjie also recalled on Facebook the first time she met Master Hsing Yun because of a drama. At that time, she was young and didn’t know how to say hello with clasped hands, but Master Hsing Yun not only didn’t care, he extended his hand to her more kindly, which made her feel ashamed; Shen Chunhua also had a meeting with Venerable Hsing Yun 13 years ago. She never forgot his teachings and respectfully described Venerable Hsing Yun as "a religious man, a philanthropist, and a great educator."
