	Dīng was born in Wúxí [[無錫]], Jiāngsū [[江蘇]] into a family with a scholarly background. His paternal grandfather had been a county magistrate in Zhèjiāng [[浙江]]. In [[1894]] he taught in a local home-school 家塾 run by the famous book collector Lian Nanhu 廉南湖 (1868-1931), and in [[1895]] tested into the Nánqīng Academy 南菁書院 in Jiāngyīn 江陰, where one of his classmates was Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]]. In [[1896]] he became a scholarship student in training for the civil service examinations (shēngyuán 生員) in Wúxí [[無錫]]. He would go on to study at Dōngwú University 東吳大學 in Sūzhōu 蘇州. He also studied chemistry in Shànghǎi 上海, Japanese at the Fúzhōu Japanese School 東文學堂 in Fúzhōu [[福州]], and medicine from Zhào Yuányì 趙元益.

Late in [[1902]] he founded Wenming Books 文明書局 with Lián Nánhú and another friend, which began by publishing translations from the Japanese and of Western histories.

His paternal grandfather had been a county magistrate in Zhèjiāng [[浙江]]. In [[1894]] he taught in a local home-school 家塾 run by the famous book collector Lian Nanhu 廉南湖 (1868-1931), and in [[1895]] tested into the Nánqīng Academy 南菁書院 in Jiāngyīn 江陰, where one of his classmates was Jiǎng Wéiqiáo [[蔣維喬]]. In [[1896]] he became a scholarship student in training for the civil service examinations (shēngyuán 生員) in Wúxí [[無錫]]. He would go on to study at Dōngwú University 東吳大學 in Sūzhōu 蘇州.

Around [[1900]] he left his teaching position (reportedly because of poverty) and began his study of medicine, although he would continue to teach mathematics and physiology for short stretches of time. Late in [[1902]] he founded Wenming Books 文明書局 with Lián Nánhú and another friend, which began by publishing translations from the Japanese and of Western histories. In [[1903]] while traveling in Nánjīng [[南京]] he met the lay Buddhist publisher Yáng Wénhuì [[楊文會]].<ref>See ''Chouyin jushi ziding nianpu'' 疇隱居士自訂年譜, 318.</ref> Some accounts say that the next year he happened to read a copy of ''Recorded Sayings of the Shakyas'' (''Shishi yulu'' 釋氏語錄) which sparked his interest in Buddhism.

-	His medical practice brought an increased income, much of which he spent on rare books, the beginning of a life-long love of literature and publishing. In [[1908]], after his Translation Society 譯書公會 in Wúxí went bankrupt, he established the Medical Press [[醫學書局]] in Shànghǎi.<ref>Some sources say that he helped establish Wénmíng Books 文明書局 in Shànghǎi, but his autochronology gives no indication of this, although he did work for Lián Nánhú 廉南湖, one of the co-founders of Wénmíng Books, as a teacher for some time.</ref> In [[1910]] he traveled to Japan to research medicine there, and later translated and published Japanese medical texts through his press. During his lifetime he wrote and published on many subjects, including philology, textual studies, numismatics, medicine, Buddhism, textual collation, and so on.	+	His medical practice brought an increased income, much of which he spent on rare books, the beginning of a life-long love of literature and publishing.

-	In [[1914]] his mother died and Dīng nearly died of illness, after which he kept a vegetarian diet and began to believe more strongly in Buddhist teachings. He would remain a committed vegetarian for much of his life. In [[~~1919~~]] he began publishing his ''Buddhist Studies Collectanea'' 佛學叢書 through his Medical Press.<ref>Often referred to as "Mr. Ding's Buddhist Studies Collectanea" 丁氏佛學叢書.</ref> The scholar Méi Guāngxī [[梅光羲]] helped edit and select many of the pieces in the volumes. He is said to have spent over ten years translating his ''Great Dictionary of Buddhism'' [[佛學大辭典]], which was published in [[1922]]. His Medical Press would be second only to Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] in terms of the number of Buddhist titles published. Many of the publications were funded by donations, and he never derived any profit from his work publishing scriptural texts. By [[1924]] he felt that his work of republishing Buddhist texts was completed. His press also published Daoist texts, such as ''Essential Records of the Daoist Canon'' (道藏精華錄, 1926) and ''Continuation Volume of the Daoist Canon'' (道藏續編, 1930?).	+	In [[1914]] his mother died and Dīng nearly died of illness, after which he kept a vegetarian diet and began to believe more strongly in Buddhist teachings.

He is said to have spent over ten years translating his ''Great Dictionary of Buddhism'' [[佛學大辭典]], which was published in [[1922]]. His Medical Press would become one of the major publishers of Buddhist books in the Republican period, perhaps second only to Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]] in terms of the number of Buddhist titles published. Many of the publications were funded by donations, and he never derived any profit from his work publishing scriptural texts. By [[1924]] he felt that his work of republishing Buddhist texts was completed.

	Dīng donated several tens of thousands of books and printed materials to Shanghai University 上海大學, Beijing University 北京大學, Wúxí University 無錫大學, and Aurora University 震旦大學. He also donated his house in Wúxí to the Wúxí Buddhist Association [[無錫佛學會]]. He also sat on the board of directors for Shanghai Buddhist Books [[上海佛學書局]], the most important Buddhist publishing house in China in the first half of the 20th century. He continued to practice medicine almost daily throughout his life, one reason perhaps why he had few contacts with the larger Shanghai Buddhist community.<ref>Although he does mention attending regular Sunday meetings of the Layman's Association 功德林 in Shànghǎi.
