大悲佛教中心座落在新加坡俗称火城加冷路与劳明达街的交界处。原址是拥有70多年历史的广福小学。1985年由大悲基金购下，并装修为大悲佛教中心。从此这片地变成了宏法正法。教化众生的佛教综合场所。

中心自1990年创立至今己有十二年的岁月。其宗旨在推动佛教宏法事业，接引佛教青年，并提供多元化，符合现代社会人士的学习场所；给予大家互相交流，关怀，分享学佛经验的机会。

1992年大悲基金在中心二楼开办了大悲托儿中心。它是一间非牟利的组织。宗旨在健全，落成一套合理的管理制度；并提供适合每位幼龄，需要的托儿教育。

中心在1994年5月14日由当时劳工部兼国防部第二部长李文献医生主持揭幕仪式。大悲佛教中心善用前广福旧校舍，走过了一段充实而又有意义的日子。

大悲佛教中心为了配合市区重建的计划，加上中心的设备老化，墙壁屋顶龟裂多处，经常漏水，这个简陋的中心，未能承担与发挥它应有的功用。因此大悲基金主席法坤法师立愿重建”大悲佛教中心”。

自1996年起，法坤法师开始筹划重建大悲佛教中心。同时，於1998年8月21日举行了动土仪式。

然而，重建总费用超出预算，於是在1998年5月24日至31日一连七日举行由各方热心人士所捐献的字画、文物、瓷器、古董、家具、艺术品等义卖会；1998年5月31日在李木源居士与陈宝穗居士的发起及各方信士的协助下，举办了筹募重建大悲佛教中心的义卖会以及12月26日举行的3千人宴会等等活动，筹募重建基金。
