This is the Way
Students at our 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat learned the way to receive energy. They learned that when you give praise to someone, it bounces back to you. And when you tell yourself that you feel good, that energy bounces back to you too. Through the practice of Bodhi Meditation, students felt a bit better by the end of each day. Every day, negativity was replaced with peace and joy. By the end of the retreat students had discovered a new way of being, a new beginning, a new life, a new world. Here are some of the stories from those who experienced transformation in the span of eight days.
Iqbal
I’m blessed to be here. Conflicts always hit me in my stomach and heart. I have such pain in these areas. I had been looking for a retreat and came across an ad for a Bodhi Meditation retreat and decided to attend this retreat. On the first day I felt the energy. My neck problems are 90% gone. I feel compassionate and loving. I know discipline is important, so I intend to keep practicing. A while back I’d been told that I would one day find a teacher, but, as an Indian woman, I never thought it would be a Chinese master! I was so blessed to have met Grandmaster JinBodhi on the first day of the retreat.

I wasn’t aware that I was looking for anything. I had seen the Bodhi Meditation & Health magazine a couple of times and ended up picking it up on a whim. After I read two or three articles a flyer fell out and that caught my attention. I read it and asked myself, “What’s the catch?” I decided to check it out. I’m so glad I did.
As males, we continue to barricade ourselves for protection from the outside world and from the joy that is out there. I initially felt defensive, but after the first day I wanted to keep showing up. It was a gentle awakening. I was able to clear my mind. I had been at a crossroads – with two young boys. I wanted to be more present, aware, in the moment and not lost in the day-to-day busyness.
Through The Meditation of Greater Illumination I was able to calm down, peel away the layers, open up, and deal with life by loving, not fighting. I discovered who was inside. Remember that person? I was really able to open. Chanting was the most powerful experience I had. I felt the love. The release cleansed me.
Annette
I have a spinal injury from a car accident. During my first retreat a year and a half ago, I was in agony. I had asked Master JinBodhi for help. I heard, “You’re really loud.” I countered with, “I’m in pain.” Then I had felt a tap on my head and the pain was gone.
During this retreat, I felt Master JinBodhi’s hand on my spine and heard, “This will take time. Rest and be careful.” I agreed. I just want to say thank you to the living angels here. Their light and love has brought me back to me. The light that shines in me will never go out.
