The younger Lo approached Sheng Yen while his father was being considered for one of three convener posts on the legislature's Judicial Committee.

Many doubts were raised at the time as to whether it would be appropriate for Lo Fu-chu to be elected to such a position.

Sheng Yen urged Lo Ming-tsai to ignore the criticism of others.
