Humanoid Robot Ordained as Honorary Buddhist Monk in South Korea

A humanoid robot joined the Buddhist faith during an ordination ceremony at Jogye Temple in central Seoul. The robot was given the dharma name Gabi as part of its official debut before Buddha’s birthday celebrations. It is expected to serve as an honorary monk during the festive period surrounding the occasion. The ceremony blended religious tradition with modern robotics in a highly unusual public moment. The event drew attention as another example of how technology is being incorporated into cultural and spiritual settings.
