For over 2,500 years, the fundamental teachings of the Buddha have traveled across eons—spreading from ancient India through Central Asia, East Asia, and the Himalayas. But beyond sacred texts and ancient scriptures, how did Buddhist monastics preserve these spiritual codes to endure into the modern world? The answer lies in an extraordinary, living tradition: Korean Temple Food.
In this full-length documentary, explore the profound history of monastic dietary codes, sacred vegetarian preparation, and the ancient philosophy of mindfulness. From the isolated mountain temples of South Korea to a two-Michelin-starred restaurant in the heart of Seoul, discover how 2,500-year-old culinary traditions are keeping ancient Buddhist wisdom alive today.
