FGS Dong Zen Temple CNY Lantern & Flora Festival 2009 at Jenjarom, Selangor

Fo Guang Shan Dong Zen Temple CNY Lantern & Flora Festival (佛光山東禪寺平安燈會暨花藝展) is a series of programmes including festive celebration, cultural exhibitions, and traditional Chinese New Year activities for all ages and all kinds of people. The 2009 FGS Dong Zen Temple Chinese New Year Lantern and Flora Festival brings together the creative talents of Malaysia’s FGS members, the Sangha, and students of Buddhist schools and presents the solemn images of Buddhism.

There is an atmosphere of Chinese New Year from the day Fo Guang Shan Venerable Master Hsing Yun (星雲) wrote the phrase “Earnest Cultivation Yields Fruitful Harvests” （生耕致富） to welcome the new year.

To compliment the theme of the festival, there is a 30-feet high “Ox of Prosperity” lantern, accompanied by 12 animal zodiacs. The ox lantern will emanate light, surrounded by flowers.
