Buddhism is so interesting to me; out of all the religions it seems to have the most well rounded approach, emphasizing not just matters of moral values, beliefs, and law, but also how you treat your body and mind and the overall connectedness of everything. I would love to learn more about it!
Most peaceful religion too. Super chill... I am buddhist and grew up with buddhist practices but it was never pushed down my throat like "You have to practice buddhism or you're going to hell" or "You have to love buddha with everything or else you're an abomination"
If I want to go to temple, I can go to temple. If not, the monks dont even care LOL. My grandma became a monk but it was like a social club for elder ppl to do good work and help the monks. They never made it feel like a cult or that they're better than us because they are hardcore buddhists. No one ever asks me "are you a true buddhsit?" Its like a religion where they just want to spread positive and good vibes and asks nothing in return. If you want to be hardcore, be hardcore. If not, see you when you we see you
Buddhism really is the “live, and let live” religion lol
“Suck my tongue “

They who have ears to hear, let them hear:
Through the Holy Spirit, God has put it on me to preach to those lost in the devil's deceit!
I tell ye, truly, Jesus of Nazareth is the propitiation for the whole world's sins. He is the anointed one, for he is, Jesus Christ. God the Father has raised him from the dead; who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God! Angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life: no one comes to the Father, but by him. They who believe and are baptized with the Holy Spirit shall be saved; but they who believe not shall be damned. For they who believe not on him, shall die in their sins!
I tell ye now to repent of your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, and you'll receive the gift of the Holy Spirit upon asking the Father!
There are *NO* sub-divisions of Christianity. You're either a disciple of Christ or not. A Christian is someone who follows God's word, not a religion. Who obey the Father and follow his will; not man's nor their own heart's. Unless you keep Jesus' commandments, think not the Holy Spirit will dwell within you!
They who heed this message and did what was stated with an open heart to God...
Read the Holy Bible (KJV) daily and every time before you read, pray to the Father and ask:
"Lord I ask that you give me understanding of your word, that I interpret it the way you want me to, and none of my own. I ask you in Jesus' name, amen."
1 John 2:2 KJV
2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
Acts 13:26-33 KJV
26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, *and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.*
27 *For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled them in condemning him.*
28 And though they found no cause of death in him, yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 *And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took him down from the tree, and laid him in a sepulchre.*
30 *But God raised him from the dead:*
31 And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 *And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,*
33 God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
1 Peter 3:22 KJV
22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
John 14:6 KJV
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Mark 16:16 KJV
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
John 8:24 KJV
24 I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.
Acts 2:38 KJV
38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Luke 11:13 KJV
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?
John 14:21-24 KJV
21 *He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.*
22 Judas saith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, *If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.*
24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and *the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.*
@@Call_Upon_YAH Not helpful to anyone. Spreading texts like this won't bring you or anyone else closer to God. It will make you feel better about your relationship to God.
I'm reminded of that one episode of Chefs Table about Jeong Kwan.
Thanks for highlighting this Munchies. We Buddhists in Taiwan also have amazing vegan found.
To anyone celebrating. Happy Songkran.
For those who aren’t familiar with Buddhism, there are many kinds of Buddhisms and how people choose to practice. What they serve or eat in Buddhist temple cuisine South Korea is different from Thailand, for example. I was surprised green onions, onions, chives, garlic, and something else wasn’t allowed in their cuisine. This was very educational!
Buddhist are not allowed to kill so all meat is of the menu but most people have no idea how much variation there is with vegetairian food
@@definitlynotbenlente7671 Buddhist household have no this restrictions. Only monks are supposed to follow this tough rule.
Yeah, this is very different even from the other East Asian sects of Buddhism.
I argue that Japan's Zen Buddhist vegetarianism is a happy coincidence in a country that has not much plains to sustain large herd of cattle. Eating meat on the daily is rather recent as far as modern history goes but in Japan it has a date: sometime in 1879 when the Emperor of Japan ate beef. The eating of meat in Japan has practical side to its promotion: prevention of Vitamin B deficiency. Navy curry was Japan's answer to what was once an endemic beri-beri epidemic in the Navy that was resolved only in 1889...
This is just mind-blowing. I never thought of the connection between food and buddha. Thank you Munchies for always showing us different aspects of food culture. Hope you guys can make a longer documentary of this topic cause I really like to dig in more!
I wish we could have seen more of the process behind her dishes and the making the soy sauce and soy paste.
NHK World Japan has a whole slew of documentaries about is. They have a series specifically about a Buddhist Temple (granted it is run by nuns) and what they do in a calendar year...
Plant based Buddhist chefs!
That’s awesome!
That was a fascinating look inside Korean culture and also the origin of Veganism. Koreans are such lovely people!
wow the food seems so peaceful and delicious
I love this! 💕
The picture of the three siblings is just 🥹
Not to distract from this good content, but if they made an episode on temple food, I wish they would include content on Chinese restaurants that specialize in vegetarian food that tastes like meat. I'm not even slightly vegetarian but I really was very impressed with that experience. They are very, very talented. For people not as familiar- basically on days you will visit the temples you are supposed to not eat meat, so they have an industry that specialized in replication. They have things like beefless stew, twice fried not-pork that are incredible
I was lucky enough to go to a temple in Vietnam. I've never had a more enjoyable meal - its so simple yet well done and delicious, I actually felt really good after, sated but not full.
amazing
She got me in feels with the analogy about lotus roots being clean and pure even though they were born in mud being similar to people.I want this woman to adopt this 40 year old white man.
That sounds creepy as fuck especially when you 40
Typical crazy white men. Creeps.
i just saw a comment on a video where a 70 year old woman wanted to be adopted by another 50-60ish yeah old woman. lol
supreme healthy food 😍😍😋😋
i didn’t know they were allowed to have their own businesses. would be interesting if she made a cookbook with her other recipes.
nice
“Everything is related to food.” Holy shite is that fucking true. Our society, civilization and ways of life’s are completely and utterly surrounded by the cultivation of food and commodities and their own economies
❤
Wow, no garlic or onions, allium vegetables! I didn’t know those were banned. Awesome to bring through so many other subtle natural flavors without those ingredients.
Bear in mind that buddhist temples around the world all have different beliefs around food and other things. Some temples are vegetarian only, some allow meat, some are vegan, and some have more specific rules around food.
What I was taught at the Korean temple where I worship is that those five vegetables are too stimulating and can excite your brain too much for you to be able to meditate calmly. Others say it’s because they are too delicious and will make you greedy for more. We need to calm our instincts if we want to achieve a more peaceful existence.
As others have said, there are different types of Buddhist thought and practice. They have different dietary rules depending on their environment. For example, Tibetan Buddhists in general aren’t vegan because very few vegetables grow at that high of an elevation and the bitter cold, so they have to eat animal products to survive. It’s all born out of necessity.
Eating that Food is like taking an auto detailing buffer to your pineal gland and buffing it to a High Mirror Shine. One meal there and you can fire your shrink.
No meat is fine, but I go through piles of garlic and onion.
I appreciate her work and respect her beliefs but I'm not sure about the ideas that you're supposed to be hungry soon after eating because it means the food was digested easily and that means it's healthy. You can eat really unhealthy food with simple carbs and be hungry soon after because it's not of substance and has little protein and fat. Not to mention portion size matters a lot.
Traditional Korean soy sauce and pastes are like wine or cheese. It taste better when aged in that clay pots.
Why can’t I find this on google maps? I’m typing ‘doban gangnam Seoul’
My take would be is to type, Vegan Buddhist Cuisine in Gangnam, Seoul, South Korea, in the search box of Google Maps.
Thank you! Unfortunately it doesn’t come up…perhaps someone on the ground might know?!
@@jupitermoon8671 you need to use the korean alphabet. search for 도반 instead of doban.
the current address is: 2 Ogam-gil, Gangjin-eup, Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do, South Korea (not in gangnam, seoul)
I work in an agricultural part of Korea. All the temples have their own gardens and greenhouses. They don't have to ask for alms. I spent time at one temple and they drink tea with a lot of sugar, alcoholic beverages and instant coffee. "Just water" is not true for every kind of Buddhism. They are great gardners.
That no garlic or onion rule is legit a dealbreaker for me ever becoming Buddhist.
you can always practise your own way if you really want to
The no garlic or onion is only for ordained monastics. Not for ordinary lay people. Besides, I think there are more important reasons to be religious than food.
There’s different kinds of Buddhism and I think this might just be the one in South Korea? The Buddhists I know in Southeast Asia east so much garlic and onion 😂
I am a buddhist and I take garlic, onion and meat. There is no absolutes in Buddhism
I will go to this restaurant if I visit Korea as I eat halal food only
Munchies please work on your subtitles. "Buddhism" should be capitalized, and the monastic here is a Buddhist "Nun", not a "Monk". Monks are male monastics, Nuns are female monastics.
Chinese Buddhist temple food is some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. I always feel nourished and energized after my meal.
She also has a good episode on Chefs Table.
That's nun Jeong Kwan my dude, not the same person
As a monk she didn’t go out to the community to beg for food. From my understanding a Buddhist monk must accept any food offered from the community to the monk and be thankful. That includes meat if it is offered.
That depends on the tradition. Common in Theravada Buddhism and South/Southeast Asian countries. Some Mahayana traditions also have alms giving traditions, usually Vinaya oriented ones. But not all monastics go out for alms.
I wish people would stop eating animals! It is cruel and unfair. Animals have feelings, feel pain. It is wrong. I am a little bit of a Buhdist because I am vegetarian 40 years plus abd I am always trying to save ants bees insects that have fallen in to my pets water bowl, I am always trying to save a snail by picking him up from the path where it risks getting trodden on and putting him in a safe place. I also feed the with vegetables. I feed the pigeons and put water for them. I hate when things die. I do everything I can to promote life not take it. I feel sorry for people who eat animals. Not only do they hurt, kill the animal they are eating but they are hurting and slowly killing themselves and their soul. This would be a happier world if no one ate animals. Jf you show compassion to an animal you will also show compassion to a human being. If you are cruel to an animal you can be cruel to a human being. I also feel sorry for the plants.
What happened to the format bong Appetit?
Soooo veggies aren’t LIVE plants ?
Lama sends kisses
The best vegetarian cook is to cook like non vegetarian food. That's the essence of cooking and the ingredients you need to find close to meat texture but it is vegetarian. And soup taste like meat soap. And forget about not using garlic and onion. We are talking about meatless and getting people to eat meatless food. You can't replace core seasoning that make food normal. If you are too straight with ingredients, no point you can't get people to eat or eat vegetarian long term. The master vegetarian cook cannot be too straight with ingredients and seasoning to make the vegetarian dish delicious and make people forget they are eating vegetarian. And eggs is vegetarian you can't cut it out. Eggs are core ingredients for Vegetarian Food you can't cut out. To cook vegetarian, there are 2 Levels. Level 1: Vegetarian (100%-Non animal Product) 2. Level 2: Common Vegetarian (Meatless Only, use animal's products eg milk, eggs, butter, cheese, garlic, onions, leeks, fragrant oil from sesame seed, onion oil, fried garlic oil, curry paste, etc)
Clearly you haven't eaten anything from Zen Buddhist temples, Sikh langar kitchens, and Jain temples. That is their "Normal" food...
Buddhism only religion/philosophy spread without invading other countries.
I am praying for all students ❤ to pass their exams with good marks.
As if no one at munchies knew “alot” isn’t a word
People thinking this is a female is quite funny. He is a monk, friends and was always referred to as such. Of course, the deeper you go into the Dharma the kess important gender, race, etc. becomes.
It’s called biguni / bukuni in korean. A female buddhist.
shes literally a woman
There are female Buddhist monks. All of them sport the same shaved bald head...
This is clearly why the last of us started.
firstt
why does this feel like an a24 movie lmao
has dave portnoy put a stop on your alls pizza game
All man religions come from Egyptian/Ethiopian roots !! Give thanks!!
Explain how?
A very accomplished, world renowned chef in her own right who makes delicious food, and long health and all power to her, but her list of five "forbidden" vegetables;
garlic, wild chives, chives, green onions, and onions sounds like nonsense.
I'd respect her more if she just said she was allergic or simply didn't like the taste.
This is a common Buddhist thing, the harsh taste is believed to be bad for the body and temple food is meant to be quite plain. It's not just her preference.
In Korean Buddhism, alliums and aromatics are actually forbidden because they bring forth the yearn for certain desires. They dont participate in anything that may sway their Buddhist will.
Nonsense, how completely disrespectful. Monastics live strict lifestyles. Imagine going up to a monastic and your breath smells of garlic and onions, how would you feel? Pork is not halal, shellfish is not Kosher, so it's all nonsense huh, you get to dictate and determine which culture is correct and acceptable. Cuisines are all full of culture and delicious tradition. Respect, please.
Please be less ignorant next time before making a comment like that. Buddhists have their own rules to follow and so they must abide like not consuming the 5 vegetables. Oh please grow up and stop thinking you’re smarter than anyone in this planet
@@hui-an-xin
It’s really sad that a lot of people like them actually exists especially in the comment section 🥲
Garlic and onion is literally the most delicious smell and taste ever i don't understand??? And why do they sound so young but look like senior citizens?
In certain sects of Buddhism, onion and garlic stimulates the mind towards temptation thereby corrupting your soul (read: makes food tasty and makes you crave for more tasty things)...
