I have a burning question about the word yuan fen. I recently heard it has made its way into the English vocabulary like feng shui, dim sum and wok etc, is it true? If not, how do we explain this particular Chinese phenomenon to the westerners? Thank you.

Programme Introduction 节目简介
How can we explain the meaning of yuan fen to westeners?
Have you got an answer ready? If not, you should read on and have a listen to this programme.
For a lot of native speakers of English such phrases as feng shui, dim sum and wok have become their everyday vocabulary.

缘分 is perhaps one of those words that need some explanation in to correctly understand its meaning.
The word yuan comes from Buddhism
Join BBC bilingual expert Shirong for a full explanation of this very special Chinese phrase, which is making its way into the English language.
