think i have to let you know something. in buddhism we do not pray or worship buddhas and gods. we do not pray to gods.
we RESPECT buddhas and bodhisattavs and all beings EQUALLY.
in buddhism we do not just learn about buddhism, the sutra, the buddha, the bodhisattvas and the teachings. we must also hands on by MEDITATING AND ALSO REACHING OUT TO ALL SENTIENT BEINGS AND THINGS AROUND as part of inclusiveness. that's opening up your heart and mind more openly.
through meditating, the purpose of it is to understand reality that can be found within yourself thus you will learn to live life more wholesomely and meaningfully. learning to live life well is essentially important.
the dalai lama said, "if we want to die well, we must learn to live well."
may you find a reliable and good teacher to guide you through the progress and be well! -
For a novice buddhist, there are much to learn...
=D -

Beeh low See temple which is near ngee ann poly ... in the west area.. the one concerned man has mentioned
i just find the the link: http://www.pilutemple.com/
there is another buddhist school ( Singapore Buddhist Youth Mission Temple ) near Clementi mrt, though im not sure whether they held regular chanting class...
if u are a still student, do join your school buddhist society to learn.
To find a venerable to learn also depends on your yuan fen too.
kmspks in bishan is another good place to learn buddhism.=D
Attend dharma talk and listen to dharma cd to learn is another way to cultivate. -

for buddhists do not pray .Especially to gods.
Buddhism differes from religions because,
(i) we do not believe in a Creator or an Almighty God who is responsible for all our actions.
(ii) Buddhism, in actual sense, is not a religion, though people generally call it so, because there is no belief in, recognition of, or of a higher unseen authority, or a controlling power, but emotions and morality connected therewith.
(iii) Is a moral philosophy in pursuit of wisdom and knowledge, norms and laws, and all other things connected therewith.
