What is a Buddha bowl?

Buddha bowls are really just poke bowls without the meat, and they consist primarily of vegetables - both raw and cooked. It is meant to be vegetarian, but I couldn't resist myself from adding in eggs because I am a sucker for golden, runny yolks and the sheer creaminess of the whites when slightly and perfectly underdone.
