After the Samil Independent Movement anti-Japanese movement in Buddhist world was based on Shanhai Provisional Government. Buddhist monks involved in the Shanhai Provisional Government played an important role as representatives in Yontongje(연통제) that is the domestic network. When Ven. Man-hae served his term of imprisonment during three years due to the Samil Independent Movement Lee Jong-ook leaded Buddhist anti-Japanese movement. Lee Jong-ook grew up as an anti-Japanese in the process of solving Yoljungsa's land problem. Right after participating in the Samil Independent Movement he became a member of 27 Kielsadai(결사대) and attended Hansung Provisional Government as a Buddhist representative together with Park Han-young. In Shanhai Provisional Government he was very active with An Chang-ho and was appointed as a general manager in domestic network. After the Samil Independent Movement he took the lead in Kim Gajin's Shanhai escape event and King Ui-chin Lee Gang-kong's escape event which astonished Japanese government. He was also a leader of the youth movement, the Korean Women's society and the Korean Red Cross. Lee Jong-ook's position in the Provisional Government was raised and he became a secretary of the Home Ministry and a member of parliamentary government (a representative of Kwangwendo). On the one hand, Lee Jong-ook consulted with Buddhist monks such as Shin Sang-oan, Baek Seng-ook, and Kim Sang-hen and organized Korean Buddhist Monk association for systematically developing Buddhist anti-Japanese movement. He announced 〈Buddhist declaration〉and guided organizations such as 〈Provisional Buddhist monks military association〉and 〈Kimilbu (기밀부)〉. Moreover, he sent young agitators to the whole Buddhist temples for inspiring anti-Japanese and raised funds for independent Movement of the Provisional Government. Right after the Samil Independent Movement the result of independent Movement in the Buddhist world was not only personal activity, but also was the result of the Buddhist monk organization involved about 20 monks such as Lee Jong-ook, Shin sang-wan, Kim Sang-hen, Baek Sung-ook, Baek Cho-wol, and Kim Sang-ho. Of course Lee Jong-ook was the center of this organization. Lee Jong-ook discharged connections between the Buddhist world and Shanhai Provisional Government because he was not only a prominent figure among Buddhist monks but also took a high position in the Shanhai Provisional Government.
