1933年转道长老发起“佛经流通处”，隔年6月17日转道长老与李俊承、丘菽园、庄笃明诸居士发起组织居士林，转道长老为倡办人兼导师。每逢星期三及星期日晚上，均亲身领导念佛，且诲教静出禅观。
9月30日，佛经流通处成立“莲社念佛部”与“莲社放生会”，转道长老亲自任念佛部总主任，每逢周三、周六下午六至八时带居士念佛。自33年中秋开始每月放生一次。
In 1933, Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao founded the “Singapore Buddhist Sutra Distribution Centre”.
After a series of expansion works made possible through the collaborative efforts of Lee Choon Seng (李俊承), Khoo Seok Wan (丘菽园), Zhuang Duming (庄笃明), and Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao, the centre was formally renamed as “Singapore Buddhist Lodge” (SBL) on 17 June 1934.
Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao personally led the chanting of sutras and taught the practice of deep meditation (dhyāna) at SBL every Wednesday and Sunday night.
On 30 September, the Singapore Buddhist Sutra Distribution Centre set up the “Lotus Chanting Group” and the “Lotus Animal Liberation Group”. Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao personally led the chanting group in the afternoons on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Since the Mid-Autumn Festival of the same year, Venerable Sik Zhuan Dao introduced the practice of monthly animal liberation.
