Master Ben Zhao, his birth and death dates unknown, was the second abbot of the monastery. According to Records of Jade Buddha Monastery by Ye Erkai, Master Ben Zhao took over the mantle of Master Hui Gen and became the successive abbot. He carried on the aspiration of his master and sustained the temple. He came to Beijing and brought a set of sutra (Dragon Scriptures in Qing Dynasty) back to the temple. So far the scriptures remain intact without any damage and are worshipped in the Buddhist Sutras Library. During the 1911 Revolution, the Jade Buddha Temple at the Jiangwan Station was occupied (or destroyed), and jade Buddha statues were discarded in a park. Master Ben Zhao tried his best to recover the temple, but he passed away without fulfillment of his wish.
