Every year, on the 30th day of the ninth lunar month, we honour the Medicine Buddha’s birthday—a day dedicated to his boundless compassion and blessings of health and longevity.

On October 26th, Bodhi Meditation Vancouver joyfully hosted the Medicine Buddha’s Birthday Celebration Fair, celebrating this auspicious and sacred day.

The Medicine Buddha, embodying compassion and healing, is the primary Buddha of worship at Bodhi Meditation.

Grandmaster JinBodhi has dedicated himself for over 33 years working tirelessly to realize the Medicine Buddha’s Twelve Great Vows and bringing health and happiness to countless people.

Everywhere, the aroma of delicious foods and snacks tempted the senses, while laughter and cheers echoed from fun-filled games and the captivating face-changing performances.
