DHARMA DRUM PUBLICATIONS

Dharma Drum Publications is a nonprofit publisher of books, CDs, videos, and cassettes on Buddhism and Ch'an (Zen).

All of our materials promote understanding of Buddhism as a living philosophy with a commitment to preserve and transmit important works from the Buddhist tradition.

Dharma Drum Publications is located at the Ch'an Meditation Center in New York and is part of the International Cultural and Educational Foundation of Dharma Drum Mountain (DDM) in Taiwan, founded in 1989 by Venerable Master Sheng-yen. The foundation includes a Buddhist Institute, monasteries, retreat centers, communities, publishing houses, all functioning as a means to benefit others. DDM offers programs that focus on the spiritual and educational needs of people at all stages of their lives. Some of these programs include international Buddhist conferences, ecological seminars and lectures, social welfare programs, and meditation retreats.
