道慈北進 歐亞咸孚

The Northward Spread of Dao and Ci

From Singapore Through Malaya – An Explanatory Account

This account integrates four sources: (A) the classical Chinese institutional chronicle 宗母總駐港辦事處南洋各院會引領; (B) the classical Chinese expansion chronicle covering Kuala Lumpur, Ipoh, and Penang; (C) the English-language institutional history of the Singapore World Red Swastika Society; and (D) a second English source covering Kuala Lumpur through Butterworth. Where sources provide complementary detail, both are integrated. Where they diverge, discrepancies are noted. Planchette instructions are presented in shaded panels.

The establishment of branches followed a deliberate geographic chain from Singapore northward through the Malay Peninsula. Each link was prepared by its predecessor:
