Reputed South Korean Buddhist monk Pomnyun will host a Q&A-style meditation session in English for expats.

It will take place at the Memorial Hall of Korean Buddhist History and Culture in Jongro, downtown Seoul, 7-9 p.m. Friday.

The session will begin with Pomnyun's brief sermon and then he will take questions.

The monk has built fame with his unique way of engaging with people ― off-the-cuff Q&As on a wide range of issues, including secular ones. Some of his mind-blowing comments have gone viral on social media, even drawing attention from followers of other religions.
