目睹身边修练中好友精神和健康状况的积极变化，决定自己也过来禅堂试试一周学走八卦课程。近几年消化不良和便秘问题一直困扰着我，严重影响身心健康。走八卦后第二天早上就通便，人舒服了很多。心想也许仅是巧合？结果接下来的几天，每天早上一起床就很有规律排便了，真的好神奇。短短几天身心得到极大改善。非常感谢禅堂老师们的认真指导，以及同修师兄师姐们的悉心照料，不仅分享宝贵练功心得，还提供可口美味的餐食。强烈推荐所有受各种疾病困扰的人们，都给自己一个机会，来禅堂学习，一定受益非浅！

I was first introduced to Bodhi Meditation when I attended an 8 day health and happiness retreat. I had a recent cancer diagnosis that had put me into severe depression and anxiety. I needed a place that could help distract me from those feelings. A place where I could find some some inner peace and calm. Bodhi mediation and Master Jin Bodhi helped me with this. Prior to attending the retreat, I could only meditate for 10 minutes. After attending for several days, I was able to meditate for up to 1 and 1/2 hours straight. It was amazing. Attending an 8 day retreat from 9:30-6pm is a big commitment. One I had some difficulty with fully completing and imagine some others may too although there were many devoted/ commuted attendees that were disciplined enough to stick through the full program. Be prepared to sit and stand in one place for hours at a time.
Approximately 20-25 people attended the retreat and I was one of only two non- Mandarin speakers. The staff provided me with live audio translation for the entire time. Most everyone was welcoming, accommodating, and supportive which was nice being a newcomer. Oh! and the vegetarian lunches were very tasty.
Overall, I am happy and grateful to have been a part of the retreat and believe that many can benefit from what it has to offer.

第一次参加，抱着探一探的心情，第一天的课程结束觉得还可以，那就继续第二天，第二天的课程结束了以后，我本来背部总觉得背着一个重重的盔甲，通过了修炼，哇，好神奇我的后背变得很轻松，本来脖子转动有点别扭，现在都很轻松的左右转动的。它的拍打全身和眼部按摩都是对身体有一定的帮助的。我感觉不错，还有那个神秘的八卦，我只是听到还没有学呢，所以我要努力认真的学下去。很感谢洛杉矶菩提禅修班给我这一次机会，感谢导师风趣幽默的话，让你学得轻松快乐。

First of all, I am truly grateful to my friend Teresa for inviting me to this wonderful meditation class. It was a privilege to be able to get this opportunity of learning the balance of physical, mental and spiritual concept in Bagua philosophy. I am so pleased with the warm and friendly accommodation of all the people especially the staff and volunteers of Bodhi Center not to mention the participants themselves. I am truly amazed with the feeling of camaraderie amongst the members. It makes me feel like one of the family member. Thank you so much for all the experience. I look forward to attending more classes in the future and learning more about the Bagua philosophy.

I've been contemplating the inquiry posed to me regarding my participation in the 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat. Initially, it was a stroke of serendipity that I found myself on vacation precisely during the retreat dates. Moreover, my dear wife had persistently urged me to partake in this event. Admittedly, engaging in activities that don't pique my interest is not my cup of tea. Each passing day felt like an eternity as I trudged through the retreat, merely counting the minutes. My primary motive for attending was to appease my wife, hoping to extinguish the daily look of frustration she wore. Her belief in the benefits of this retreat was the driving force behind my presence; supporting her became my focal point, despite my lack of enthusiasm. If queried about my fondness for retreats, it unequivocally does not align with my preferences. However, my paramount objective remains supporting my wife, who firmly believes in its efficacy for her well-being. Doubts may arise regarding the mechanics of such events, undoubtedly prompting questions about their efficacy.

"Bodhi Meditation Centers have been an absolute game-changer in my life. The supportive environment and teachings have transformed the way I approach daily challenges. Through their guidance, I've learned invaluable techniques to navigate difficulties with clarity and calmness. The mindfulness practices taught at Bodhi Meditation Centers have empowered me to embrace life's hurdles as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. The compassionate instructors and the sense of community fostered there have created a space where I feel truly supported in my journey toward a more resilient and positive mindset. I'm immensely grateful for the profound impact Bodhi Meditation Centers have had on reshaping my perspective and enhancing my daily life."

Embark on an 8.5-Day Health & Happiness Retreat at the Jin Bodhi Meditation Center, and experience the magic that countless attendees have shared in their testimonials. This is my opportunity to join an event at this renowned center for the first time and witness the miracles it creates for myself.

I'm excited to share my thoughts after completing my 8-day retreat. Throughout this journey, I've had the opportunity to reconnect with my body and become more aware of sensations I had forgotten, like the occasional discomfort in my neck, shoulders, and back from extended periods of sitting. Additionally, I've been reminded of the effects of uric acid build-up, experiencing mild discomfort in my ankle and toe.

As the days went by, I noticed that I was constantly sweating, and while I occasionally experienced itching and tiredness, it was all part of the process. On the eighth day, I even encountered some digestive symptoms, though I'm not entirely sure what they signify. Nonetheless, I'm grateful for this retreat and the chance to reacquaint myself with my body. I look forward to its conclusion and the positive changes it has brought about.
