A group
of tour guides situated in Kaohsiung have formed the Kaohsiung Elite Foreign
Language Tour Guide Association (KEFLTGA) in order to increase their knowledge.
Through the help of Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum, a whole day tour was organized
twice for these tour guides where they get to enjoy, for the first time,what it
is like being a tourist. Many of them have brought groups of visitors to the
museum in the past.
高雄菁英外導協會為提升高雄市外語導遊導覽佛館品質，透過佛館國際組的安排了兩次一日外語導遊交流會。外語導遊熱情參與，當中也不乏平時常帶團來佛館的導遊們。
Apart
from interacting with the professional tour guides of the Buddha Museum, they
also had a brief meeting with the team leader of the International Affairs Team
where they learnt about Ven. Master Hsing Yun’s goals for
the museum. All participants diligently took notes and asked many questions.
行程除了由國際組導覽員向大家介紹、彼此交流之外，國際組組長有律法師更藉由星雲大師的文章讓大家深入認識佛教，許多導遊十分認真作筆記，更不吝發表自己的意見與問題。
One of
the tour guides noted that he was always so busy that he never had a proper
meal here. But now that he is actually a visitor, having a meal at the Camphor Grove
Tea House made him quite emotional. Many other guides noted that experiencing
calligraphy and Tea & Chan left strong impressions on them. They believe
they have learned a lot from the experience. They thanked the organizers and
hope that there will be more chances to enjoy a day at the Buddha Museum in the
future.
當中一位導遊分享以前帶貴賓團到佛館總是很忙、沒能好好吃一頓飯，今天到樟滴坐下來專心用餐，突然覺得好感動，以往的辛苦似乎都不算什麼了。也有多位導遊實際體驗抄經茶禪後，紛紛在回饋單上寫著意義深刻，並感謝佛館的用心，對未來帶團來佛館獲益良多，期待日後能再舉辦類似的交流會，增進導遊與佛館之間的情誼。
