Chapter 83: Taiwan Island Buddhist Study Tour
The second prize is a 10-day tour group in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, and the education level is relatively lower than that of the first prize, and the people with college and technical secondary school education are the mainstay. This can also be seen from the arrangement of travel. Such a structure requires a few team leaders who can spark with them to communicate and communicate, so as to do a good job in this travel service and make it another advanced Buddhist outing after the competition. So, this team chose the Shi Jiaxuan brothers to accompany them. Master Dongfang Xiao, the head of the group, is also a talkative and down-to-earth lady, and she also fell in love with the brothers of Shi Jiaxuan, and they just happened to be a good partner. In fact, this is the most worry-free group, and she hardly needs to worry about leading the team, just one Luo Tianxing can do it.
On the plane, this group of people chirped and chattered, but after a while, after everyone had a volume of Buddhist magazines, they immediately fell silent. This is not only a group of younger people, but also a group of people who are quick to accept new things, they get the new publication and quickly flip through it, and they return to the last page in three or two clicks, and see the painting and the accompanying poem.
This is not quiet at the beginning, everyone is guessing the meaning and artistic conception of the painting, and some are speculating about the poetry. None of them were idle, but they looked at the painting carefully, and seriously thought about the poetry or the first poem, the poem of the tail, and they didn't read it. What does it mean? Everybody is thinking about it.
The theme of this group is also very simple, that is, travel with Buddhism as the central topic. This time I booked a six-day tour of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, plus a three-day tour of Taiwan Island, as soon as I leave the airport, the local temple will be responsible for the reception service, which is already safe, but can reduce a lot of unnecessary expenses. The accommodation is also a clean and safe residential building, without outsiders disturbing.
In Malaysia, the group of 40 spent two days in the capital and the nearby seaside before heading to Singapore. Climb the Petronas Twin Towers, once the tallest building in the world, to see the cityscape, taste the spicy Malay food of this metropolis known as a diner's paradise, and in the evening, watch the beautiful seaside scenery at sunset. The next day, I went to the Strait of Malacca and after a day, I ended my trip here and went to Singapore. At Universal Studios, you will be dazzled by the half-day resort life in Sentosa in the south, and then visit the iconic Merlion Park, a water-themed park that blends perfectly with the water at night. The outdoor open-air performance is even more lively. The next day, they went to Clarke Quay to enjoy the exotic atmosphere of the entertainment world. The final stop was Sands SkyPark, where they stood on the observation deck of Sky World more than 200 meters above the ground, with spectacular views of the South China Sea, Marina Bay and the city of Singapore.
The main purpose of a trip to Thailand is to worship the Buddha. It is also the last country on the first leg of the trip in Southeast Asia. Thai Buddhist temples are the world's famous Buddhist temples, among which the most famous Buddhist temples are Wat Pho, Wat Phra, Wat Phra, Grand Palace, Wat Dolden, Chirata Palace and Ananda Palace.
The people here generally believe in Buddhism, and it is the first Buddhist country in Southeast Asia, and Buddhism is designated as the state religion and is practiced by the whole people. Everywhere you can see the customs and statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, as well as clothing, rituals, and other things related to Buddhist beliefs.
Let's talk about the trip to Taiwan. They traveled from 40 people to Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand for six days, and then flew straight to Taiwan Island. Actually, this is the most important part of the trip. It means that there are a lot of memories of Chinese culture, as well as relics of ancient culture, cultural relics and other places worth seeing, and there is a continuous promotion of Buddhism and a lot of Buddhist infrastructure and bases, which is a good educational base and viewing place, and there are also the presidents of the Southeast Asian Buddhist Foundation who are waiting for them. In fact, this female benefactor is still Shi Jiaxuan's younger sister and lover, but Master Dongfang doesn't know it yet.
As soon as they got off the plane, Master Dongfang and Shi Jiaxuan saw Zhong Yuxiu who was waiting for them at the same time, so they both waved their hands to indicate that they saw her. When she saw Shi Jiaxuan also waving his hand, it made Dongfang incredible. She wondered, how did the two of them meet, Master Zhong has been working in the European headquarters for many years, and then insisted on it in Southeast Asia for more than ten years. How could there be entanglements or connections with teachers and writers from the mainland?
Just thinking about this, I heard Master Zhong's voice, I'm here, Senior Sister Dongfang. Hey, I saw you, go over right away.
