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。

Tai Pei Buddhist Centre is situated at the junction of Kallang Road and Lavender Street, also commonly known as Gas works. This site was originally the premise of Kwang Fu Primary School which had a history of over 70 years.

In 1985, Tai Pei Foundation assumed ownership and named it Tai Pei Buddhist Centre. It serves to propagate the Buddha's Teachings and educate the general public.

For the past 12 years since 1990, Tai Pei Buddhist Centre has been propagating Dharma teachings, guiding our Buddhist youth, to interact with care for one another and to share their experiences in learning Buddhism.

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。

As time passed, the deterioration of the physical structure due to the wear and tear have resulted in our then simple Centre no longer being capable of performing its function effectively. Hence, the President of Tai Pei Foundation, Ven. Fatt Kuan, aspired to rebuild the Centre in accordance with the city redevelopment plan, in the hope to better shoulder the responsibility of spreading the wisdom of Buddha and propagating the Dharma for the benefit of all.

In 1996, Ven. Fatt Kuan started to plan for the rebuilding of Tai Pei Buddhist Centre as she felt that the dilapidated building could no longer serve its purpose. With the assistance of people from all walks of life, the Rebuilding Committee of Tai Pei Buddhist Centre finished its rebuilding plan in 1998 and conducted a Ground Breaking Ceremony on 21st August in the same year.

However, the cost of construction was enormous and far exceeded the budget of the Rebuilding Committee. Through the kind effort of Mr. Lee Bock Guan and Madam Tan Bao Hai, a Fund-Raising Charity Fair was organized in aid of the rebuilding on 31st May 1998, with the assistance of many devotees and generously supported by members of the public. From 24th May to 31st May, items like calligraphies, potteries, antiques, furniture and art pieces, which were donated by devotees, were put on sale to raise funds. Other activities, which included a"Thousand-People Charity Dinner" held on 26th December was also carried out.
