Twenty-one spouses and family members of ambassadors of 17 countries, including the US, Australia and Japan, took part in temple food making on Wednesday to mark the first full moon of the Lunar New Year, or Jeongwol Daeboreum. The Culture Corps of Korean Buddhism, run by Korea’s largest Buddhist sect Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism, hosted the event at its headquarters in Seoul, during which the members of the Ambassadors’ Spouses Association of Seoul learned to prepare namul, or seasoned vegetables, from monk chefs.
