🌈🎈 Celebrating Grandmaster JinBodhi’s Birthday 🎈🌈
— Through the Grandmaster’s great compassion and vows, countless lives were transformed
✳️ A Warm Celebration in the Midst of Winter 🌈
On January 24, Bodhi Meditation New York held a heartfelt celebration in honor of the Grandmaster JinBodhi’s birthday.
Though winter’s chill filled the air outside, the Meditation Center was warm with joy and gratitude.
This day was not only a birthday celebration for the Grandmaster, but also a meaningful moment for many to reflect on the profound transformations in their lives.
✳️ Gratitude Cards Bearing Witness to Life Transformations ❤️
Outside the Medicine Buddha Hall hung over two hundred gratitude cards, each sharing a true story of life after hardship.
Some regained their health, some healed strained family relationships,
and others, in their darkest moments, rediscovered hope through the Grandmaster’s guidance.
All these transformations arose from the Grandmaster’s boundless compassion.
✳️ Floral Offerings, Filled with Deep Gratitude 🌸
Each offering of flowers was more than a gesture of reverence—
it was an expression of heartfelt gratitude for the Grandmaster’s compassionate vow to relieve suffering and bring peace to all beings.
✳️ Dance as Expressions of Gratitude 💃
Teams from the Kitchen, Logistics, Dharma Outreach, Teaching, Activities, and Front Desk took turns performing.
Their movements may have been simple, but they were filled with sincerity—
for those who once endured illness and hardship, being able to dance joyfully today was the truest expression of gratitude.
✳️ Volunteer Sharing: From Receiving Benefits to Making Vows 🥰
Volunteers shared their journeys from illness and confusion to health and inner peace,
and together made a heartfelt vow:
to follow the path of the Grandmaster, serve all sentient beings, and repay his great compassion.
Because their lives were deeply transformed, they now wished to pass on this light—
upholding the Meditation Center and benefiting others through action became their most genuine expression of gratitude.
✳️ Lighting the Perfect Fulfillment Lights — An Offering of Light☀️
The “Perfect Fulfillment Lights” lit upon the altar represented the collective aspirations of over two hundred practitioners,
symbolizing an offering of light in gratitude,
and a dedication of merit to the Grandmaster and all sentient beings.
✳️ Coming Together in Blessings for Bodhi Meditation 🙏
As the celebration came to a close, all practitioners joined together in wishing:
“Happy Birthday, Grandmaster!
May Bodhi Meditation bring light to people around the world.”
With heartfelt gratitude to the Grandmaster,
to all fellow practitioners, and to everyone who took part—
we look forward to seeing you again at the Spring Blessing Carnival on February 1! 🌸

through continuous service and cultivation, their minds became more stable, while their entire families experienced positive transformation and a shift in destiny.
These heartfelt stories once again affirmed that cultivating the mind and practicing goodness can bring profound change to life.

The event concluded harmoniously with the song “A Grateful Heart,”
followed by a special 🎁 lucky draw,
sending everyone off with joy, gratitude, and blessings as they step into the new Year of the Horse.

🎄 Celebrating Christmas · Walking Together in Warmth 🎄
In the warm and joyful spirit of Christmas, everyone gathered to celebrate this season filled with love and blessings.
❤️ Grandmaster’s Teaching
At the start of the event, everyone listened respectfully to the compassionate teaching of Grandmaster JinBodhi. The Grandmaster shared that when parents chant and pray for their children, it is the deepest and most precious gift they can offer. True love is not merely material giving, but cultivating pure and kind intentions—entrusting children to the compassionate care of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, helping them clear obstacles, accumulate blessings, and walk a life path of health, auspiciousness, and light.
Chanting is not a formality, but a sincere focus and heartfelt prayer. Through chanting the Buddha’s name and reciting mantras, one purifies the mind, increases wisdom and blessings, and brings lasting positive energy to children and families alike. 🌈🥰
🙏 Chanting & Prayers
Everyone chanted with sincerity, offering the brightest and most auspicious blessings to their beloved families and children 🌟
May love and kind intentions continue, and may peace and good fortune always be present.
🎁 Joyful Moments · Hearts Full of Warmth
Interactive games, graceful dance performances, surprise gifts from Santa Claus, and an exciting lucky draw filled the space with laughter and joy.
Amid smiles and gratitude, everyone shared a warm, fulfilling, and blessing-filled Christmas celebration.
