This was apparently the origin of the ~~Minnan~~ Buddhist Seminary [[閩南佛學院]]. That summer, before going to Xiàmén, Chángxǐng received dharma transmission from Péiān 培安 at Guāngxiào Temple 光孝寺 in Tài County 泰縣, Jiāngsū 江蘇.

	Chángxǐng became ill in the spring of [[1936]] and moved to Shànghǎi to convalesce. After he recovered, Yuányīng [[圓瑛]] pressed him to become head secretary of the Chinese Buddhist Association [[中國佛教會]]. At the time there was a rivalry between two factions within that group, one associated with Yuányīng, the other associated with Tàixū. Chángxǐng tried to act as a mediator between the two in order to unite them. His illness reappeared, however, and he died in the winter of [[1939]].
