In this dry autumn/winter season it’s often tempting to laze about, stay indoors, or warm yourself over a bowl of steaming, spicy hotpot. But if the believers of traditional Chinese medicine have anything to say, it’s these sorts of things that can lead to “shang huo.” Based on the Taoist principles of “yin” and “yang,” “shang huo” can occur if you have an imbalance of the two, with “yin” roughly pertaining to restful qualities, and “yang” pertaining to more active qualities.

If there was such a thing as hip nouveau Buddhist cuisine then Lotus in Moonlight would be it!

For fans of the Buddhist vegetarian restaurant the same creative and elegant dishes are there but in a more upscale setting that’s equal parts peaceful, modern and cool.

Be full and fooled at this creative vegetarian restaurant.
Sherry Xia is a devoted Buddhist. For the past 17 years she’s been incorporating the virtues of Buddhism into her life. So when dining out options can be fairly limited for the carnivore it’s time to take matters into your own hands. Sherry doesn’t know how to cook, but that hasn’t stopped her from opening up one of the most creative and colourful vegetarian restaurants in Beijing.

When one finds something as rare and wonderful as a quiet pocket of Beijing, one must think carefully about what to do with it. The decision to insert a low-key, quality Buddhist vegetarian restaurant was the perfect choice. Tucked away in a residential area north of DongZhiMen, and further hidden by a wide front lawn full of overgrown weeping willows, this is the proverbial jewel in the lotus.
