(Busan International Buddhist Expo)
The 2025 Busan International Buddhist Expo will be held from August 7 to 10 at BEXCO Exhibition Center 1, offering an expanded cultural experience that blends traditional Buddhist values with contemporary lifestyle trends.
This year’s event doubles in size from last year, featuring 220 companies and 370 booths, and is themed around the concept of “Buddhist Core”, a philosophy that infuses everyday life with mindfulness and peace.
Hosted by BBS Busan Buddhist Broadcasting and the Buddhist Newspaper, the expo introduces diverse Buddhist-inspired products, art, and experiences.
Visitors can explore the Meditation Cultural Exhibition, the Balwoo Temple Food Zone, and interactive programs featuring singing bowls, incense, and wellness rituals.
A highlight is the immersive meditation art exhibition, which transforms Buddhist values into visual expression.
The event also emphasizes mental wellness, aiming to help modern attendees relieve stress, anxiety, and rediscover peace.
