Ohio, USA -- Ohio State hosted a traditional Korean Buddhist monk group that performed a special dance honoring Buddha Friday night. Buddhist monks from the Young San Preservation Group performed a two-hour traditional song and dance to a full Hughes Hall auditorium.

"It's a devotional performance. These people are nationally renowned for specializing in these chants," said Chan E. Park-Miller, professor of East Asian languages and literature.
