๐Ÿ”ฅa monk is being called the G-Dragon of Buddhism

Ven. Deoksan, abbot of a small temple on Soyo Mountain in Dongducheon, has gone viral for dancing. He first got noticed dancing to GD & Taeyang's Good Boy at a Buddhist Expo in April, then Billie Jean at the Lotus Lantern Festival in May.

He says dancing is part of his practice and a way to share the teachings. He learned partly by making a four-hour round trip from the temple to a dance academy, and he became a monk at 40, after graduating from the Korean National Police University. Next on his list: rap.

Police university, then temple, then dance academy, then rap. My own future plans look very boring right now.

dance as practice isn't that strange, plenty of traditions use movement in meditation. Good Boy specifically is the funny part

is this actually allowed though? feels like the temple would have opinions
