The late Venerable Master Chih-kwang left his home at age of 13 and went under the teachings of Venerable Master Yu Chen (玉成). His life mission was to provide education for fellow monks and to build study halls. His study emphasis was Huayen Sutra which he studied for several years with Venerable Master Yue Hsia (月霞). He also pooled money for funding of scholarship for students in need.
