How to Find News and Temple Information on fgs.org.nz

Updated

Visitors to fgs.org.nz can find news and temple information through two main areas: the 佛光資訊專區 (Buddhist Information Section) and the 佛光新聞 (Buddhist News) column on the homepage. News items are listed with dates and region tags, and the page footer provides direct entry links to both the North Island (北島佛光山) and South Island (南島佛光山) temples.

Where News Appears on the Homepage

The homepage features a dedicated news column under 佛光新聞. Each entry follows a consistent format:

  • Date (e.g., 2026-09-23)
  • Region tag in brackets — either [北島] (North Island) or [南島] (South Island)
  • Headline summarizing the event
  • Short excerpt followed by a [詳全文] (read full article) link

This layout lets you scan by date or filter visually by region without opening each article.

Navigating to the Full News List

Two entry points lead to the complete news archive:

  1. 查看所有新聞 (View All News) — a link at the top of the news column
  2. 點擊查看更多 (Click to See More) — a link at the bottom of the visible news list

Both take you to the full list of published articles beyond what the homepage displays.

Finding Temple Information

At the bottom of the page, two direct links are provided:

Link Temple
FGS North Island 北島佛光山
FGS South Island 南島佛光山

These footer links serve as the primary navigation to each temple's own section.

What Kinds of News Are Published

Based on the homepage listings, news covers a range of activities across both temples:

  • Dharma lectures — e.g., 心定和尚 speaking on "佛法的人間性" (the humanistic nature of Buddhism) at North Island
  • Association meetings — annual member representative conferences for both North and South Island associations
  • Cultural and community events — Mid-Autumn gatherings, tea talks on Buddhist topics
  • Interfaith and external visits — economic delegation visits, consular engagements

Each item is tagged by region, so you can quickly tell whether an event took place at the North Island or South Island temple.

Practical Tips for Browsing

  • Scan the date first — entries are listed in reverse chronological order, so the newest news is at the top.
  • Use the region tag — if you're looking for activities near a specific temple, the [北島] and [南島] tags let you skip irrelevant entries.
  • Follow [詳全文] — the homepage only shows excerpts; the full article opens from this link.
  • Check the footer — if you need temple-specific information rather than news, the footer links to each temple's section directly.

The site does not require login to browse news listings based on the available page evidence.
