The word Bodai is derived from the Sanskrit term, and signifies enlightenment and wisdom. It embodies a transcendent state of awareness, that can be achieved by shedding worldly distractions to obtain the wise state of Nirvana. In Buddhism, Bodai represents not only the wisdom of enlightenment, but also the path leading to it. It is not just a word; it is a symbol of spiritual pursuit and aspiration. Additionally, Bodai refers to the sacred fig tree, which holds profound symbolic significance in Buddhist culture. Bodai is not just a core term in Buddhism; it is the embodiment of one's quest for truth, wisdom, and higher enlightenment.
Bodai Vegetarian Cuisine was founded by Master Guo Wenjun, based on the ancestral secrets of "Qing Palace Cuisine." Vegetarian culture boasts a rich history and holds a significant place in royal cuisine. Through the evolution of multiple dynasties, vegetarian influences and dietary philosophies have gradually matured resulting in the culmination of the influential imperial vegetarian cuisine school of the late Qing Dynasty. Our restaurant has also incorporated the research findings on vegetarian delicacies from Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica," which combines modern plant-based cooking techniques and a selection of pristine and rare ingredients from around the world to present customers with unique vegetarian flavors.
