Korean Temple Food Center
What is Korean Temple Food?
Temple food refers to the food eaten daily at
Buddhist temples. At Buddhist temples,
everything is considered a part of practice.
From growing vegetables to preparing the
food, monks and nuns are directly involved
in the whole process. As if preparing the offer towards the Buddha, monastic practitioners make it with deep devotion, which all people share the food equally.
