管委会主席献词
南无佛！尊敬的善长仁翁、护法居士、社会善信大家吉祥。
命由己造，相由心生。世间万物皆是化相，心不动，万物皆不动，心不变，万物皆不变。任何福报都有 其必然的成因，就像财富来自施舍，尊贵来自谦恭一样，美丽的容颜来自柔和善良的性情。宽厚的人 多半一脸福相，性情柔和的人面相柔和美丽。笑看风云淡，坐对云起时。愿你能不乱于心，不困于情， 不畏将来，不念过往。 真正的修行不是逃离，不是躲避，而是欣然的面对，全然的接受。
2020年岁次庚子，新年伊始,初突如其来的新冠肺炎疫情席卷全国，全国各族人民以李显龙总理为 核心的政府领导下，众志成城，打响疫情防控的保卫战。护国金塔寺响应政府防疫政策， “坚定信心、 同舟共济” 全力做好疫情防控 。 四月份起，暂停对外开放，遵守多项防疫措施，暂停一切佛事活动， 直至政府指导下，我寺逐步有序恢复开放。 希望在新的一年中，护国金塔寺僧俗二众一心，落实弘扬佛法，社会教化，发扬固有伦理道德，净化 人心。我们不仅要以至诚心，服务社会，服务三宝；还要以精进心，加强自身素质建设；更要以良好的 精神状态和充沛的体力投入到疫情常态化防控下的寺院弘法工作，坚决打赢疫情防控这场硬仗，共 同奋斗。最后，我谨代表护国金塔寺管理委员会全体同仁，向各位善长仁翁、护法居士、社会善信表 示最真挚的感谢! 颂祝：国运昌隆，百官康宁；社会善信，均沾利益。

President’ s Message
Namo Buddha!
Dearest benevolent donors, devotees and Buddhist followers, wishing you all good fortune.
Fate is created by one’s Self, phenomena is created by one’s Mind. Everything in the world is form, if the Heart does not move, everything does not move; if the Heart does not change, then everything does not change. Any blessed reward has its inevitable cause, just as wealth comes from charity, and honor comes from humility, and a beautiful face comes from a gentle and kind temperament. Laugh at the situation, when sitting and watching the clouds rise. I hope you will not be confused in your heart, not trapped in emotions, not afraid of the future, and not thinking about the past. The true practice is not to flee, not to avoid, but to face and accept situations completely.
In 2020, at the beginning of the New Year, the sudden Covid-19 epidemic swept the country. Under the leadership of the government, with Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, people of all ethnic groups united their efforts to start the defense against the epidemic. Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple responded to the government’s epidemic prevention policy,“strengthening confidence and helping each other in the same boat”to do its best in epidemic prevention and control. Since April, the opening to the outside world has been suspended, a number of epidemic prevention measures have been observed, and all Buddhist activities have been suspended. Under the government’s guidance, our temple has gradually resumed its opening, in an orderly manner. It is hoped that during the coming year, the monks and devotees at the Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple will be working together to propagate Buddhism, social enlightenment, carry forward the inherent ethics and morals, and purify people’s hearts. We must not only serve the society and serve the Triple Gems with sincerity, but also strengthen our own personal development with diligence. More importantly, we must devote ourselves to the Buddhist Dharma work, under the prevention and control measures of the epidemic, with a good mental state and abundant physical strength, and work together resolutely to win this tough battle. Finally, on behalf of the Management Committee of the Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the benevolent donors, devotees, and Buddhist followers in the society. Wishing prosperity for our country, and good health for all government officers and people.

护国金塔寺缘起

眧坤法照师父慈悲，时常关心众生疾苦，为了要改善众 生的苦厄，特别着重于修持药师法门，祈求佛力的加持 下，受苦受难的众生远离所有的病危灾障，得到吉祥幸 福的人生，并且能够无灾无难直到圆满成佛。在三宝加 护下于1989年因缘成熟觅得吉地，多年筹建药师道场的 宿愿得成，取名为护国金塔寺。寺院的施工建设自1990 年开始，1992年竣工，并在同一年，注册成为合法团 体，1995年注册成为慈善署。目前，寺院约有一万两千 多名信徒。 1988年成立勤修净土念佛团，法照师父领众信徒提倡信 愿西方净士，秉承佛陀慈悲喜舍四无量心，劝人修善福德
Origins
In order to enjoy happiness in this life, one must have accumulated a store of mundane merits in the past. In order to attain Perfect Enlightenment, one needs to accumulate both mundane and super-mundane merits. In the Mahayana Tradition, the cultivation of Perfect Wisdom and Great Compassion forms the two wheels of the Vehicle, which propels one forward on the spiritual path, helping sentient beings to accumulate extensive merits and ultimately achieve Perfect Buddhahood. The Venerable Chao Khun Fa Zhao is greatly concern about the suffering of sentient beings. In order to help sentient beings to become free from all trials and tribulations, he promote the practice of the Medicine Buddha. This is because through invoking the power of the Medicine Buddha, sentient beings can become free from all forms of obstacles and disasters, enjoy a happy and fulfilling life, and progress swiftly on the spiritual path all the way until Perfect Enlightenment. Due to the blessings of the Triple Gems, a suitable piece of land for a new temple dedicated to the Medicine Buddha was acquired in 1989. The new temple was named Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple. Construction work on the new temple began in 1990 and was completed in early 1992. In the same year, it became a registered society under the Registrar of Societies. Subsequently in 1995, it was registered as a charitable organization. Currently Golden Pagoda Buddhist Temple has 12,000 devotees. In 1988, the temple established its Sukhavati Chanting Group, which brings together both members of the Sangha and lay devotees to propagate the Pureland Practice. Based on the Buddhist ideals of Lovingkindness, Compassion, Joy and Equanimity, the group strives to encourage people to engage in virtuous

智慧，常念阿弥陀佛，临终正念昭彰，转极苦为极乐，往 生净土安养。以信愿念佛为因，求生西方极乐世界莲花 化身见佛闻法为果。同时，念佛团的莲友们也积极参与社 区推广各项慈善活动，藉由“日行一善“的付出爱心来修 心。目前，参加念佛团的莲友约有250多位。 鉴于信徒的年龄逐渐老化，计划升级寺庙的设施。但是， 由于现有的寺庙建筑设计，因此决定拆除与重建寺庙。
工程于2014年4月开始，历时33个月，耗资$ 17,857.000.00 。新建筑于2016年12月30日启用，于2017年1月开放。这 些新设施深受善信的欢迎。这座新建筑曾在《新加坡建筑 师》杂志3月份刊登，并获得了芝加哥庙会 / 欧洲建筑艺术 设计与城市研究中心颁发的国际建筑奖。这是最高与最负 盛名的杰出的建筑荣誉奖项，旨是国际的新锐尖端设计。
actions; and cultivate merit and wisdom. It emphasizes the methods of generating faith in Buddha Amitabha; cultivating an aspiration to be reborn in the Amitabha Pureland; and the practice of reciting the name of Amitabha Buddha. So that when the time of death arrives, the practitioner is able to depart from this life happily and peacefully; and attain a rebirth in the Amitabha Pureland, to further his spiritual practice and development there under the guidance of Amitabha Buddha. Members of the Recitation group also actively participate in various community and charitable projects, as the experience of community welfare work serves as a skillful way to develop loving kindness and compassion and pacify the mind. There are currently more than 250 members in the Sukhavati Chanting Group. In view of the aging devotees, the plan was to upgrade the temple facilities. However, due to the existing temple building design, it was decided that it would be more viable to demolish and build a new building. Construction began in April 2014 and took 33 months, costing $17,857.000.00. The new building was consecrated on 30 December 2016 and opened in January 2017. The new facilities were well received by our devotees. The new building was featured in Singapore Architects magazine March edition and received The International Architectural Awards from The Chicago Athenaeum / The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies. These are the highest and most prestigious distinguished building awards program that honor new and cutting-edge design worldwide.

Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Temple’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Temple to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. REPORT ON OTHER LEGAL AND REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS In our opinion, the accounting and other records required to be kept by the Temple have been properly kept in accordance with the provisions of the Societies Regulations enacted under the Societies Act, the Charities Act and Regulations.
