Since 1904, Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao vowed to pay homage to the four great Bodhisattva temples. He fulfilled his vows by making three pilgrimages to Wutai Mountain and more than twenty to Putuo Mountain. It was via these pilgrimages that he learned about the development of Buddhism throughout China.
In the autumn of the same year, Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao received the “Dragon Tripitaka” sutras from Beijing, and he escorted them back to Nanshan Temple in Zhangzhou.
