Zen Up Your Life with Buddhist Temple Cuisine
a ZenKimchi Seoul Food Tour
♥ Vegan friendly
♥ Halal friendly
Experience Buddhist temple cuisine. We all have tried eating mindfully at least once. But when life gets busy, mindful eating feels like a luxury at best. If this sounds like you, you have to join us. Buddhist monks and nuns will tell you that every bite at every meal is a good place to start practicing mindfulness. Then you will find a peace of mind even in the midst of chaos.
Connect to the the surreal (yet real) world of Korean Buddhism hidden in the heart of Seoul. Buddhist temple cuisine is more vegan than vegan. It’s local. It’s organic. It’s sustainable. Even if you’re a card-carrying carnivore, this experience will change how you enjoy food and life.
So, to break it down
- Take a temple food cooking class with monks at Jogyesa Temple (2hrs)
- Dine at a restaurant specializing in temple cuisine
- Relax with a cup of tea at a traditional tea house
After the tour, you will get :
- An excuse to start eating mindfully,
- Selfies and souvenirs from the Zen world,
Don’t dress up for the monks. They will see through you no matter what you wear. The ticket price covers the cooking class, lunch, and tea. You are free to get street food or souvenirs while walking.
