The Nepal Buddha Culture Festival is set to take place in South Korea in October, lasting for six days. The event is organized under the leadership of Jimin Wang, a South Korean individual deeply committed to the Buddhist faith. Wang has been a strong advocate for Buddhism and has been involved in various activities in both Nepal and South Korea to promote and deepen understanding of Buddhist culture and teachings.
Wang, who has long been interested in Buddhism, decided to focus more intensively on the subject during the COVID-19 pandemic. After conducting extensive research and study on Buddhism, he concluded that it needed to be promoted globally. His vision is to share the wisdom of Lord Gautam Buddha and showcase the cultural richness of Nepal through this festival.
The Nepal Buddha Culture Festival aims to spread the teachings of Lord Gautam Buddha, with a particular focus on highlighting Nepal’s cultural heritage. The festival’s preparations are progressing rapidly, with efforts to bring together Buddhist communities and cultural promoters from across the world. Wang emphasized that this festival will not only focus on Buddhism but also aim to foster cultural exchange, furthering the global understanding of Nepal’s role in the Buddhist tradition.
