Established in 1967 by Master Hsing Yun, Fo Guang Shan is dedicated to upholding basic principles: nurturing talent through education; promoting Buddhism through culture; benefiting society through charity; and purifying the mind through devotional practice.  Our goals are not exclusive to Buddhist devotees, but serve to uplift all people regardless of their religious viewpoints.  At Fo Guang Shan, visitors enter the "Pure Land", a serene environment for contemplation and a welcoming space for young and old.  Our programs are current, in step with E-Generation technology, and they hold popular appeal to both religious and secular communities.

For 26 consecutive years, Fo Guang Shan has celebrated customs of the Chinese Lunar New Year.  It is a joyous season signaling a fresh beginning with endless possibilities.  January 23 ~ February 22, , our temple doors are open wide from dawn to dusk.   You are invited to join ancient rituals from January 23~February 22 including the First Tolling of the Temple Bell, a ceremony honoring the significance of  first thoughts and actions on New Year's day.   Or, the Light Offering Ritual, an evening climax to the Lantern Festival that inspires people of all ages and backgrounds.  Through these and other Buddhist traditions, you will discover the magic and the mystery of the holiday, and the beauty of Fo Guang Shan.
