Rainbow Buddha Bowl with quinoa
Where does the Buddha Bowl get its name? The answer is simple: In Zen Buddhism, eating is a highly ritualistic and meditative process. There are many different sized bowls, the largest of which is the Buddha Bowl.
All the delicious ingredients swell in this bowl, much like the belly of a Buddha. After we've devoured the white quinoa with the avocado, pear, radish, and other delicacies, our stomachs probably feel the same way.
