The Festival of Light and Peace aims to bring warmth, happiness, brilliance, and harmony to the world with the shining of the Buddha’s light. To welcome the year 2009, Fo Guang Shan will once again organize the Festival of Light and Peace, themed on Venerable Master Hsing Yun’s New Year calligraphy, Earnest Cultivation Yields Fruitful Harvests, in the hope that all people will work with due diligence to make their living and cultivate their minds. This is how people can be enriched with material and spiritual wealth.The features of the festival will focus on faith, peace, harmony, and crafts. In addition to the beautiful natural scenery, the festival will also incorporate cultural and educational features which will enable visitors to have a multitude of experiences. From enjoying beautiful flowers and paying tribute to the Buddha during the day to taking in the spectacular view of the evening lights, visitors can also sound the bell, pray for blessings, and make a vow for the coming New Year, as well as visit the Cultural and Educational Promotion Center where they can browse through Dharma books. During the one-month Festival of Light and Peace, Fo Guang Shan hopes that the visitors will take peace, harmony, brilliance, and happiness home with them to make the year to come joyous and meaningful.
