- My third full day in South Korea continued in the city of Busan, where my group and I had the amazing opportunity to stay overnight at Beomeosa Temple just outside the city. Come join me as I have my first overnight Buddhist temple experience!

Sam: / @samuelandaudrey
Right off the bat, lugging my carry-on up the worn stairs leading to the men’s quarters was tough! There are men’s quarters and women’s quarters. We would sleep in a communal area and share a communal bathroom.
I took my shoes off and got my uniform, which I’d wear for the next 12 hours. They’re almost like pajamas! They’re super soft and comfortable and I loved the color! From there, Sam and I returned to the hall, where we met the supporting monk, who taught us how to do three bows. We were also informed of the temple’s rules.
You have to be very quiet in the temple and there are areas where you can’t speak at all. We also can’t film in certain areas. After finishing our bows, we took a tour.
There are 3 gates to get to the main temple ground area. The first is the one-pillar gate because there’s only 1 row of pillars. I learned that the temple’s name translates to the Golden Fish Temple.
Through the second gate, we learned that Buddhism is different depending on the country you’re in. The gate has 4 heavenly kings who fight off evil spirits. The gates are all different and have symbolic meanings. We also saw a place where the monks will play instruments, including drums, gongs, and bells before the morning and evening ceremonies.
At 5:30, it was time for a Buddhist monk dinner! We dined on mats, traditional-style. We learned where to position our four bowls, chopsticks, and spoon. You’re given some water and then the rice goes into your largest bowl. Next was seaweed-style soup, and the banchan goes into your bowl for side dishes. You have to eat everything you take, so don’t take too much! To eat, you lift the bowl up to your face.
Once you start eating, you can’t talk at all! After you eat, you clean each bowl with the water, wash them, and dry them. My legs started cramping up during my meal, so that was the hardest part!
Then, we went to go see the monks ring the gong. It was very intricate and rhythmic and fascinating to watch! We had to turn off the cameras for the evening chanting ceremony, which is a 15-minute ceremony to end the day. You have to do lots of bowing!
Then we went to another activity, where we had to do 108 bows. They got really tough as they went on! Then, we put together 108 beads into a bracelet. I loved mine! I was going to wear it until it falls off.
After that, it was time for bed! It was basically a big sleepover! Lights out were at 9:30 and wake-up was at 5 a.m. The drums started at 4:30. I slept pretty good except for the mosquitoes!
The morning exercise was a breathing meditation exercise for 30 minutes. We had a beautiful view and it was so peaceful out! Then it was time for a traditional buffet-style breakfast!
For breakfast, we ate in the main dining hall. We had rice, kimchi, vegetables, and more. The kimchi was spicy, while the seaweed was earthy and crunchy. After you eat, you wash your own dish. You have to clean it well because no one cleans it after you! Let your dish dry and place it on the counter.
Next, we walked to a nearby temple. The main temple has 10 smaller ones surrounding it. This one was famous because its monk invented a form of martial arts. There were lots of images of fictional characters and gods. The Buddha is at the very top!
Then we had tea with orange for a half hour and talked with the monk!

Davidsbeenhere Thanks Dave for sharing the Korean Temple experience. Nice to see Sam on your vlog. I always like to watch his channel. Hope you do more vlog with him and Audrey. Can’t wait to watch your next vlog. Take care bro. Cheers from HKG.
Thanks David for that lovely tour inside the monastery.
Sujata Das no problem! Thank you for watching 🙏
This is great David to see and experience how the monks live and eat such delicious food to great video
Wendy Mudkins thank you!
This was a fascinating look into a temple stay.
I am an Indian Buddhist from the north east, I'm not too religious, bt this video of ur's had a calming and spiritual sensation to it
You should read about Buddhism and do personal research, then you'll surely become buddy of Buddha again.
I m a Hindu and I think all people who are following dharmic religion has to be religious. Else we will become weak.
What an experience. Thank you for sharing 🙏💫
It was the simplest meal you had in Korea! Temple stay would be a very good experience for the mind as well as the body.😊
wander planet sure was but it was delicious!
Yeah, we should send drumpf there ( and throw away the key😈)!
What an amazing experience, thanks for sharing with us.
I really enjoyed it.
But this is Chinese music i think.
Korean traditional music is very calm
True.
Best place to meditate🌲🏞🌞🐦🎵.Very peaceful.👍
Sonal D for sure! It was life changing
Omg once you start eating you can’t talk? I would fail at that miserably and would be smacked over the head by the man 🤭🤣🤣🤣
R u on juice
FitAngie jjaja yea it was hard
sameer Ul haq khan Saab yeah water 🙄
@@AussieAngeS water?? No way

Please Change your background music that is China music.
Korean traditional music is totally different.
Sadhu,sadhu,sadhu,thank u for the video, iam sure u will like sri lanka also
amazing Busan!!
Thanks David for sharing your travel experiences. It's an amazing gift for people with limited mobility. They can travel the world through your videos. Thanks a lot and best wishes xx
Loved the whole temple atmosphere, definitely worth trying !
Thanks for the lovely video Sir... The Korean Buddhist temple is just awesome.... Peaceful and quiet...🤗🤗🤗
I'm Vietnamese and my ancestors were Buddhist. If I had had the privilege of spending the afternoon, let alone a night at a temple to learn their rituals, I certainly wouldn't have complained as you and Sam did on camera. The purpose of the 100 bows is to put you in a zen-like state where you no longer think about your worries, your anger, your suffering and esp. the pain of your body. You and Sam completely missed the entire point. It makes me sad and disappointed because I know you want to give your viewers/subscribers a window into another culture; I just wanted it to be less about YOU and more about the culture. If you don't get it, you don't get it. I just don't like how appropriative Westerners are about yoga and Buddhism. You act like it's a workout physically when there is a lot of mental discipline as well. You seemed to be going through the motions and othering a culture you have yet to understand with your attempts at humor due to your discomfort. I would've had more respect for your trip to this temple had you said less and shown everything with more reverence. Isn't that the point of film? To show, rather than tell? FYI, I worked in story development.
Excellent idea for a video, David. Thanks for making this. Try it out in Japan sometimes?
Hello! Do you know a website or any place which sells Korean Baru bowls that are used in Baru Gongyang? Japanese oryoki are easy to buy, but Korean Baru bowls are nowhere to be found. This is a pity.
Amazing video learn so much. Keep it up David!
Was there a few weeks before you but just for a day trip. Saw so much more through your awesome video. Thanks a lot!
The tattoo on your right arm seems to be the same as the Nazi pattern in Japan.

Thank you David for showing us inside the life of a monk in the Temple i really enjoyed it
Great video..but dumping the banchan in the soup
......did they want u to eat it like that?
Again, nice video!
Hello David in a Buddhist temple. I see Sam walking ahead of you. Now for 12 hours of a monks life...complete silent. 5:30 time for dinner the traditional way of eating. I don’t think I’m for being a monk. Hmmm. Anyway, awesome blog and thanks for the lesson. Bowing is you daily back and abdominal excercise🤪🤪🤪🤪
Ricardo Tongol jaja yea not easy but we tried
9:20 Um... Well... well...
I got what you mean LOL
The back ground music is chinese. Most or some of koreans can b offended.
David, you and Sam are da Bomb. Monastic life - not so much.
12:07 . Ancient Progressive Techno.
Why are there God's in Buddhists Temples when Buddha says there is No God or Yes ??
This is Mahayana Buddhist temple
That temple is the one that I’ve been for summer activities of my elementary school near by that temple for six years. Now I’m almost 40 and feel some kind of nostalgic watching this! Thanks for your video and sending support from California.
Hi, David. We did this Beomeosa Temple Stay a year ago and today my bracelet broke(( and I cannot find 2 beads(( Do you happen to know what to do when such a thing happens? Shall I try to find those 2 beads and fix the bracelet or it already did its job? ☹
The monk tapping the wooden sheath....
If I messed up bowing or something, would I get spanked with said sheath?
Suppose I farted while bowing or eating? Would I get my junies smashed? Could I just blame eating a Kachappa earlier? I stay awake at night worrying about this stuff.
Discipline followed by david & co...nyc to see u guys following a culture n d temple was in midsts of nature...jzt loved d video n do make more of these kindda videos...lotz of♥️❤️♥️ frm🇮🇳 thanks a lot david....!!!
How exciting!! When the food is good -- no talking is usually the outcome. ^~^ Personally I think I'd be alright eating on the floor with my legs crossed like that. (I sit on the chair like that). Thanks for sharing this journey. The bracelet looks lovely! Great job with it.
Wow this very nice and yummmy food and beautiful views
Dude dropped his 반찬 into the soup.....😅💀
BUDDHISM WAS FOUNDED IN INDIA BY GAUTAM BUDDHA
Gourish Rane he’s it was 😉
But Gautam Buddha was born in Lumbini , Now Nepal 🇳🇵.
@@birju4333 YES HE WAS BORN THERE BUT HE FOUNDED BUDDHISM IN INDIA IN THE STATE OF U.P AND DAVIDS BEEN HERE AT THAT PLACE
Buddhism (practising buddha teaching) started in magadha empire. Get some knowledge ignorant man.
@@birju4333 do you have anything else to say...Nepal was ruled by Indians
The taditional Chinese music on a video for a video on traditional culture seems a bit off
This was up to your usual great standard. I learned a lot from this knowing, through experience, the “pain” one can experience sitting cross-legged for an hour or so. The food looked intriguing with me looking for the meat, which obviously, the monks did not consume. Thanks David, for sharing this fantastic adventure. Cheers, Colin.
9:19 OMG! Why did you put the side dishes into the soup???? I guess no one told you to not do that. Ugh!~~~
Sadhu sadhu sadhu for showing us a beautiful video I'm an buddhist from North east india
Soo peaceful
Nice
😍
Hinal Makwana thank you!
@@Davidsbeenhere ssly I watched ur all videos u make up Hungary me every time.....😋
It was a fantastic video, and also I admire your respect towards other religions culture and tradition.
Gautam Buddha was born in Lumbini, Now Nepal 🇳🇵
Nepal didn't exist back then.
@@sys9208 u do know nepol(nepal Kathmandu Valley kingdom) exist back then. Research history clearly.but there was no India back then hahaha. Liar. Nepal is much older then India. U liar.
U gotta wash the food than put the soap ur not good washing a dishes
Very interesting to see how different Buddhism is outside of In.
👍👍👍👍👍👌👌👌
OMG you're tatoo on the right wrist🤫
It's same meaning as Nazi patterns 🙄🙄
@@What-v7k well,, as an Asian I know the pattern of swastika. I meant rising sun flag 00:02 . If you look into a history of imperialism in asia, you would know that.
Please look into the history of it.
Wow.. looks like a nice neat place
How do they get money?? Awesome video by the way!
Dennis Haslid viewership and sponsorships
I mean the Buddhists? Or that too lol
Excellent video. I wonder how the monks would stay warm in the middle of winter.
Korean traditional floor had natural heating system call "on dol" this heating system continue from over 3000year ago to until now
On dol is start heating bottom makes very warm first so eventually make all area getting warm
Amazing video.
Nice place David sir
Beautiful..❤
Love from India🇮🇳🇮🇳💗🇮🇳💗
