The Mining Venture and the True Purpose<\/h4>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The Singapore story begins with a commercial proposal and ends as a spiritual mission – a sequence the institutional history presents not as irony but as divine orchestration.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Within the Guangzhou Tian Qing Cao Tang community, a proposal emerged: to sustain the Dao Yuan’s work over the long term, the community needed a source of income. The decision was made to invest in tin mining in Malaya. The Deity Fu Sheng approved the plan. Yu Zizhong and Yu Yunheng (\u4f59\u904b\u4ea8, Dao name Zhiyuan \u667a\u7de3) – Yu Zizhong’s young cousin from Taishan, who had joined the community as a teenager and served as the altar’s principal planchette writer – were dispatched to Singapore to establish both the mining company and a new Tian Qing Cao Tang. Thed men from the advance party – Zhou Wutong (\u5468\u609f\u901a) and Li Zhishan (\u674e\u667a\u5584) – had already rented premises at 57 Kampong Bahru Road: the ground floor for the mining company (\u91d1\u7fa9\u884c\u945b\u52d9\u516c\u53f8), the upper floor for the planchette<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The mining ventures – first tin, then a failed jade mining expedition to the Burma-Yunnan border – all came to nothing. But the planchette altar had been established. And through the altar, the community in Singapore grew. When the mining had clearly failed, a planchette instruction came: return to Hong Kong and Guangzhou to report; and then go north to inquire of the Dao. The commercial purpose dissolved; the spiritual mission remained. And in remaining, it was revealed as the true purpose all along.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u25b8 Source note: Source (E) is the only source to record the mining venture. This explains a detail on why Yu Zizhong and Zhiyuan came to Singapore specifically, and why the first Singapore premises at 57 Kampong Bahru Road had both a commercial office (ground floor) and a spiritual altar (upper floor). The mining failure was itself divinely shaped - it removed the commercial distraction and left the spiritual mission intact and undivided.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

On the 16th day of the 5th lunar month in 1928, the Deity Fu Sheng transmitted the instruction: go south. Yu Zizhong and Zhiyuan arrived in Singapore and went immediately to Johor Bahru to meet Zhu Xiangqu (Zhiduan) – who responded with complete commitment. The chain of introductions that followed brought in Lo Chengde, Li Xueqi, and Chen Hepeng (Zhimian) – the four founding members who would carry the community through its entire early history.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Before departure, Deity Fu Sheng transmitted a verse of encouragement: “Pack your bags, take the road southward – spur the horse, do not delay. Today your virtuous deeds go overseas; when you return home in years to come, blessings will flow without end.” And from the Buddha Ji: “Do not say that crossing the Seven Seas is arduous – when you reach Malaya, you may rest your whip.”<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Chen Zhimian, who joined in 1928 and served for forty-nine years, records that Yu Zizhong in those early years moved between Singapore, Hong Kong, and Guangzhou without rest – like a horse that never stops – wholly given to the work without complaint.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
