During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Liang dynasty, he embraced and promoted Buddhism. Several times, he became a Buddhist monk and forced his court to buy him back with substantial offerings to the sangha. In 517, he ordered the destruction of Taoist temples and forced Taoist priests to return to lay life.
