春節平安燈
佛光山每年春節舉行平安燈法會，希望在每個人心裡點亮一盞慈悲、智慧、歡喜、信仰的燈。一個人即使物質生活欠缺，只要他有慈悲，有智慧，生命就變得充實、富有；內心有了歡喜、信仰，比世界上有形的財富更為重要。大家仰仗著這盞燈，互相尊重，同體共生，那麼，居住在這個地球上是件多麼美好的事。
禮千佛法會
農曆正月初一是彌勒佛的聖誕，佛弟子們過年的第一件大事，則是到寺院拜佛，禮讚稱念「南無當來下生彌勒尊佛」。彌勒菩薩常坐鎮於山門口，意喻修學佛法，首先要培養歡喜心，開拓心境，包容一切的大肚量。
各寺院道場皆新春期間舉辦禮拜千佛法會，歡歡喜喜慶祝當來下生彌勒佛的誕辰，藉著禮拜諸佛名號，祈求新的一年增福增慧、平安吉祥！星雲大師認為，最好的慶祝方式，莫過於發揮彌勒菩薩大肚能容的精神，將歡喜的種子布滿人間。
燒得頭香好運到
新年到寺院禮拜上香，上新年佛前第一柱香，即所謂的「燒頭香」，為自己求得一整年好運。

Humanistic Buddhism
Humanistic Buddhism teaches that one can live fully in this human world and practice Buddhism at the same time. The two endeavors are not separate. They support each other perfectly by enabling one to cultivate the wisdom that clearly understands the true nature of reality. Humanistic Buddhism encourages one to integrate the Buddha’s teachings of tolerance, loving-kindness, compassion, joyfulness, and equanimity into our lives for the benefit of all beings.
