South Korean Temple Ordains Unitree Robot as Monk

A metallic frame draped in a monk's robe, hands joined to chant sutras, and even a unique set of "Five Robotic Precepts." Jogyesa Temple—a thousand-year-old sanctuary in Seoul, South Korea—recently held a formal Buddhist ordination ceremony for a Chinese-made Unitree G1 humanoid robot. It was given the dharma name "Gabi" (가비), marking the birth of the world's first "Robot Monk." #BuzzStories #monk #robot
