In 1984, H.H. Living Buddha Lian-sheng, the founder of True Buddha School (TBS), instructed the late Master Lian Xuan to gather the TBS disciples in Singapore and establish a local cultivation venue. In 1986, Yuan Zheng Tang was officially registered as a society and this was Singapore’s first and only TBS Chapter at that time. The chapter was registered as Ling Xian Jing She Yuan Zheng Tang Mediation Center at Mangis Road.

In 1987, Yuan Zheng Tang moved to Andrew Road, then to Hougang Street 21, and relocated again to Level 5 at No. 9 Geylang Lorong 29. In 1993, the chapter was renamed as Yuan Zheng Tang of True Buddha School to reflect the TBS lineage. In 1998, Yuan Zheng Tang managed to purchase a freehold unit at Level 4 in the same building (No. 9 Geylang Lorong 29). The chapter shifted into the new unit during the tenth day of the sixth lunar month, which coincides with the birthday of Guru Rinpoche (Padmasambhava). With this establishment, Yuan Zheng Tang has secured a permanent cultivation venue which can host up to 300 people, for the TBS disciples in Singapore.
