🌈 Dispel Calamity and Turn Fortune Through the Buddha’s Blessing | An Auspicious and Joyful Gathering 🌈
On September 27, New York Bodhi Meditation held the “Dispel Calamity and Turn Fortune Through the Buddha’s Blessing” Group Energy Healing Event. Everyone gathered at Bodhi Meditation to gain wisdom from Grandmaster’s teachings, chant Buddha’s name, and receive blessings, while praying for good health, peace, and auspiciousness for themselves and their families. 🙏
🔶 Observe Your Emotions · Happiness Begins Within
During the event, everyone listened to Grandmaster JinBodhi’s compassionate teachings and learned how to recognize and observe their emotions.
Grandmaster shared, “When you manage your emotions well, happiness will follow.”
By learning about the influence of the “Five Aggregates,” everyone practiced becoming more aware of their inner state—recognizing emotions as they arise and learning to adjust them in a timely manner.
With greater awareness come fewer worries; with greater inner peace comes greater happiness.
🔶 Chanting and Prayer · Auspicious Wishes
Everyone chanted Buddha’s name and prayed for themselves and their families, wishing for obstacles to be cleared and for good health, peace, and auspiciousness. The atmosphere was peaceful and uplifting, filled with joy and blessings.
🔶 Treasure Vase Blessings · Dispel Calamity and Turn Fortune
Everyone also received the special blessings of the “Bodhi Bumba Treasure Vase” and the “Seven-Color Fortune Treasure Vases,” with wishes for good health, peace, good fortune, wisdom, and abundant blessings.
🔶 Mr. Gao | Over 40 Years of Back Pain Relieved
Mr. Gao injured his lower back when he was young and had experienced recurring back pain for more than 40 years. In August, he began receiving One-on-One Energy Healing.
🔹 Before Energy Healing

• His lower back was no longer painful
• His sleep increased to about 5 hours a night

The improvements in his back and sleep brought Mr. Gao great joy and gratitude.

In early September, Sister Ruan received One-on-One Energy Healing and later participated in the 8-Day Health & Happiness Retreat.
🔹 Before
• Knee pain and swelling for more than a month
• About 8 years of poor sleep, including light sleep, frequent dreams, and difficulty falling asleep

🔶 Bodhi Vegetarian Food Contest · A Celebration of Food and Joy
After the Group Energy Healing Event, the “Bodhi Vegetarian Food Contest” brought even more fun to the day!
More than ten volunteers lovingly prepared a variety of vegetarian dishes and desserts. Everyone tasted, shared, and voted for their favorites, and the three most popular dishes were selected as the winners. Delicious aromas, laughter, and warm smiles filled the meditation center. 🎉
🔶 Grateful for Our Time Together · Until We Meet Again
From listening to Grandmaster’s teachings and learning to observe our emotions, to chanting, receiving treasure vase blessings, sharing inspiring experiences, and enjoying vegetarian food together, the day was filled with joy, gratitude, and blessings.

From twice backing out at the last moment to now completing his training and actively planning his future, Xiaobao was delighted to see her son’s growth and transformation.
She is deeply grateful for the compassionate blessings of the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Grandmaster JinBodhi, and for the opportunity to accumulate merit through her sponsorship in support of the new New York Bodhi Meditation Center. She is grateful to see her son gradually find direction in life and move toward a more stable and promising future. 🙏❤️

For more than four years, she had been troubled by persistent back pain, which brought many difficulties to her daily life. For years, she had hoped to find a way to improve her condition.
🔸 The Turning Point | From One-on-One Energy Healing to the 8-Day Health & Happiness Retreat
Later, she came to Bodhi Meditation New York and experienced One-on-One Energy Healing. After her very first session, she felt noticeably lighter and more comfortable. Encouraged by this change, she decided to join the 8-Day Health & Happiness Retreat and continue learning and practicing.

From living with back pain for more than four years, to feeling noticeably lighter after One-on-One Energy Healing, and finally becoming free from the pain after completing the 8-Day Health & Happiness Retreat—this remarkable change filled her with gratitude and deeply encouraged everyone present.
Her personal experience also reminded many of us that when we give ourselves an opportunity to try and change, we may encounter wonderful possibilities we never expected. ❤️
