受太虚大师感召，转道长老发起组织新加坡第一个佛教领导机构“中华佛教会” ，于1927年12月12日正式成立，转道长老直至去世为止，一直是此会的导师，并亲自出任两届会长。
1927年，太虚大师受请住持厦门南普陀寺，并任闽南佛学院院长，但旋因变故而离厦。转岸法师与闽南佛学院觉斌法师知转道长老与太虚法师稔熟，故联名写信敦请转道法师劝太虚法师重回闽南佛学院。转道长老不仅去信，还汇寄一千元，辅助佛学院经费。
On 12 December 1927, Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao founded Singapore’s first Buddhist organisation, the “Chinese Buddhist Association”, as he was inspired by Venerable Shi Tai Xu. Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao was the Chinese Buddhist Association’s Chairman for two years as well as its spiritual advisor till his passing.
In 1927, Venerable Shi Tai Xu was invited to take on the role as the Abbot of Nanputuo Temple and Dean of Minnan Buddhist College. However, due to unforeseen circumstances, he had to leave Xiamen.
As Venerables Zhuan An and Jue Wu knew that Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao and Venerable Shi Tai Xu had close relations, they wrote to Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao requesting his assistance to persuade Venerable Shi Tai Xu to return to Minnan Buddhist College. Not only did Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao write to Venerable Shi Tai Xu, but he also remitted $1,000 to help with the operational cost of the Buddhist College.
