Early in his life, Zhū had been skeptical about Buddhism, but under the influence of his friend Chéng Déquán 程德全, he converted to Buddhism. At some point during his tenure with the Army, Zhū had been stationed in Hāěrbīn [[哈爾濱]], where he provided a great deal of assistance to Tánxū [[倓虛]] while the latter worked to establish temples in China's Northeast in the early and mid 1920s. In [[1927]], Zhū helped financially and with the organization of relief efforts for those caught in major floods in Shāndōng and Hénán [[河南]].

In [[1929]], Zhū discovered a nearly complete edition of the Sòng Dynasty-era Qìshā Canon [[磧砂藏]] in Xī'ān [[西安]]. He went to Shànghǎi [[上海]], where, with the help of Dīng Fúbǎo [[丁福保]], Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]], Lǐ Jīngwěi [[李經緯]], and others, he established an organization to publish photoprint copies of that canon. This group dispatched the monk Fànchéng [[範成]] to search around Sānxī [[山西]] to find the rest of the canon. Fànchéng unearthed a Jīn 金 dynasty canon at Guǎngshèng Temple [[廣勝寺]] in Zhàochéng County [[趙城縣]], which was used to fill in the missing pieces of the Sòng canon. The entire canon (in 500 volumes) was published in Shànghǎi in [[1935]].

In [[1936]], Zhū was ordered by the government to return to duty in the Army to aid in resistance against the Japanese army. For much of the Second Sino-Japanese War, Zhū was stationed in Xī'ān, where he worked diligently to protect, and more importantly restore, the many Chinese Buddhist temples and objects present in the region. He helped restore ancient temples, rebuild neglected stūpas, establish Buddhist seminaries (though most were short-lived), including the Xīngshàn Temple Buddhist Seminary [[興善寺佛學院]]. This last Seminary was directed by Tánxū, and one of the lecturers was Huáqīng [[華清]]. During all of his charitable and restoration work, Zhū was personally responsible for unearthing a number of Buddhist artifacts from the Táng, Sòng, and Míng Dynasties.

He died without illness while meditating on January 13, [[1941]].
