Dongguk University looks to Buddhism, Hallyu and AI to shape global identity Founded as a Buddhist school in 1906, Dongguk is Korea’s only comprehensive Buddhist university. Dongguk University President Yun Jae-woong sees Buddhism, Korean culture and artificial intelligence as the foundations of a distinctive international education — one that gives students a reason to choose Dongguk beyond studying in Korea. “Among the different forms of Hallyu, Dongguk’s Hallyu can include things like meditation, temple food and temple stays — things other universities or organizations cannot do,” he said. The university has already been trying to internationalize those assets through projects including the Seoul International Meditation Expo, its Buddhist cultural archives and multilingual Buddhist-content platforms. https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10913851
