So, What Is a Buddha Bowl?
That’s pretty much up to you. You don’t even have to call it a Buddha Bowl; they’re also known as grain bowls, hippie bowls, macro bowls, and power bowls.
According to Dan Zigmond, a Zen priest and the author of Buddha’s Diet, the name Buddha Bowl might have a very literal origin.
“Buddha woke up before dawn every morning and carried his bowl through the roads or paths wherever he was staying. Local people would place food in the bowl as a donation, and at the end, he would eat whatever he had been given. That was the original Buddha Bowl: a big bowl of whatever food villagers had available and could afford to share.”
