In order to promote Master Sheng Yen’s vision to "uplift the character of humanity and build a pure land on earth", the first Dharma Drum Singapore Office was established in 1996 at Arcadia Garden.

In 1997, a more spacious location was found at Balmoral Plaza to attract more people to learn the Buddha Dharma and understand the vision of Dharma Drum. Besides regular meditation and chanting sessions, there were also Buddhist musical instrument classes and book lending services.

To attract and accommodate even more people, the library was again moved to the city area – the second storey of Pearl’s Centre in 1998. Activities included meditation, sutra writing, yoga, study group, etc.

In July 2003, the Dharma Drum Singapore library was moved to Apollo Centre, where it was spacious

and the traffic was convenient.

In January 2005, the library was moved to the present site at the fourth storey of Lam Ann Building. Venerable Kwang Sheng, the abbot of Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery was invited to preside at the blessing ceremony.

Today, Dharma Drum Singapore has successfully relocated to a brand new premises at 100A Duxton

 Road. On 22 December 2007 at 3pm, Venerable Guoqi from Dharma Drum Mountain was invited to

 preside at the blessing ceremony. Everyone gathered was united in strength, well-wishes and hopes.

Dharma Drum is a centre of cultivation that integrates both education and the uplifting of the character of

humanity. Taking each and every step with steadiness, we strive to propagate Humanistic Buddhism

 through the establishment of Dharma Drum’s Three-fold Education and using loving care as our

 fundamental principle.
