8 – 15 May 2022 – Held Simultaneously at Singapore Bodhi Meditation Centre
8 May 2022 is the birthday of the honourable Sakyamuni Buddha. Our most respected Grandmaster JinBodhi specially held an eight-day “Peace, Wisdom and Longevity Online Chanting Class”, leading all to get closer to Buddha’s compassion, feel Buddha’s great love, and also learn Buddha’s wisdom. Bodhi Meditation Singapore also invited practitioners to attend the class at the meditation centre. In the grand and blessed meditation hall, Bodhi Meditation practitioners chanted together with Grandmaster JinBodhi, listened to Buddha’s teachings and communicated with Buddha’s huge compassionate energy, thereby helping them to avert disasters, grow wisdom for themselves and their relatives, fulfil their wishes, and obtain great auspiciousness!
The first day of the class was the “2022 Buddha Bathing Festival”, which Bodhi Meditation Singapore celebrated too. On that day, the meditation hall was grandly decorated, creating a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. As it was the first time we were holding a large-scale activity since the start of the pandemic, all the participants cherished this special occasion to bathe the Buddha and gather happily.
On the second day of the class, we welcomed more than 40 fellow practitioners. For the next seven days, they followed Grandmaster JinBodhi to chant and listened to Grandmaster’s teachings.
Through Grandmaster JinBodhi’s teachings, everyone learned how to observe and prevent health issues through face reading. Facial and palm features are all manifestations of our karma. Only when we have compassion and love in our heart, do more good deeds and accumulate virtue, can we change our destiny, have beautiful facial features, be healthy physically and mentally, and be wealthy and enjoy longevity. Grandmaster JinBodhi also gave great blessings to the students, using compassionate and auspicious energy to relieve everyone’s physical and mental discomfort, and regain ease and comfort.
Every day after class, practitioners sang “A Hymn to the Buddha” along with Grandmaster JinBodhi, in gratitude for Buddha’s compassionate teaching and protection to help everyone to be blessed with auspiciousness and good luck!
Before we knew it, the seven-day online chanting class with Grandmaster JinBodhi came to a conclusion. Everyone benefited a lot and felt reluctant to part. Everyone was filled with joy and gratitude! Dear Grandmaster JinBodhi, we will definitely practise more diligently! We will not forget that Bodhi Meditation brings us health and happiness! Gratitude to Grandmaster JinBodhi!

Participant’s Sharing #1: Hu Jing
Before class, I somehow sprained my right foot. Whenever I stood up from squatting, it hurt and I could feel that my tendon was being pulled, which was very uncomfortable. On the first day of the class, during the “Vanishing Pain” energy blessing by Grandmaster JinBodhi, his finger seemed to be pointing at me and when Grandmaster said that the pain was gone, in that instant, I felt a flow of energy from my thigh to the bottom of my foot. The pain disappeared immediately and my tendon no longer felt tight. I am so happy! Thank you Grandmaster for your compassionate blessing! It’s so amazing!
Participant’s Sharing #2: Tian Yao
Hello Grandmaster, I am Tian Yao from Singapore. I am grateful to Grandmaster for helping me to get rid of my cervical spine pain that has plagued me for half a year in this “Peace, Wisdom and Longevity Chanting Class”. My neck often felt tight and I sometimes experienced needle-like pain. I could barely lift my head; it was so painful that it felt like my head was about to break apart! (On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the most painful, the pain was 8-9) The discomfort put me in a bad mood and affected my sense of happiness! When the “Tui Na” massage didn’t work, I relied on traditional chinese medicine to relieve the condition.
I am grateful to Grandmaster for reminding me during the class to maintain a good mood and face everything with tolerance and ease. After receiving the energy blessing from Grandmaster on the second day, my neck started to feel more relaxed. When I was chanting, my whole body was warm and I felt full of energy! On the seventh day, no matter how I looked up and turned my head, my neck did not hurt anymore, which made me super happy! Sincerely grateful to Grandmaster, Buddha and Bodhisattva for the blessings!
Participant’s Sharing #3: Quan Qie
Hello Grandmaster! My name is Quan Qie and I am 87 years old this year. First of all, I want to thank Grandmaster JinBodhi for giving us the opportunity to learn meditation. I never thought I could still sit cross-legged at this age! Before I came to Bodhi Meditation, I could not sit cross-legged. After about a year of meditation, my body has become more flexible, and I am very happy to be able to sit cross-legged again to chant!
I am so happy to be able to come back in person to the Singapore Bodhi Meditation Centre to participate in the “Peace, Wisdom and Longevity Chanting Class” with fellow practitioners!
For the past two to three months, my left calf has been feeling painful when I walked, and it was impossible to kneel. I went for physiotherapy but it did not help much.
Thanks to Grandmaster for the great energy blessing using potatoes and apples during the chanting class. During the energy blessing, there were sensations of pulling and throbbing in my calf tendons. On the sixth day of the class, when I returned from the bathroom to my meditation cushion, I was able to naturally kneel and sit. At that time, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my calf did not hurt! Now when I walk, my calf does not hurt at all!
In addition, I also benefited from a change in my facial features! There has been a greyish-black patch near my right eyelid since I was in my fifties. The patch got larger and darker with age. Since the past five years of meditation, the patch has slowly faded. Recently, I paid more attention to the changes on my face, and excitedly noticed that the patch was now gone. Fellow practitioners did not even know that I used to have this patch! I am so grateful to Shifu for making me healthy and beautiful!
Participant’s Sharing #4: Quan Ben
Hello Grandmaster, I am Quan Ben from Singapore. For the “Peace, Wisdom and Longevity Chanting Class”, I attended the whole class in person at the Singapore Bodhi Meditation Centre. I have been suffering from head pain at the top of my head for more than ten years. The headaches were usually triggered by hunger, bloatedness, or lack of energy. To avoid it, I needed to be very careful with my diet. Even so, the headaches occurred two or three times a week. When a headache struck, my eyes would feel very tired and hard to open, and my body would feel weak. I had to rely on self-massage to relieve the headache. If I am out and about, I would have to sit down and rest at regular intervals.
On the third or fourth day of the chanting class, the headache came again, but I endured it and continued to chant. I am grateful to Grandmaster for the blessings on the last day of the chanting class! I was kneeling and chanting, and suddenly there was a burst of severe pain on the top of my head. I had to close my eyes and think: May all sentient beings who are suffering receive Grandmaster’s blessing. If they are reborn, may they be brought to the Western Pure Land. Not long after, I suddenly felt the urge to do prostration. At that moment, Grandmaster appeared in my consciousness and walked towards me! At this time, my left hand was still on the ground, and my right hand was reaching up. During this process, I saw some spots of light falling on my right hand. This kind of blessing is very special, which I have never experienced before! I was engrossed in this peaceful, wonderful state.
When the chanting ended, I found that I was full of energy. What was even more unexpected was that the pain at the top of my head that had been with me for more than ten years also disappeared! Wow, I am so happy and grateful for Grandmaster’s great love for us!
Participant’s Sharing #5: Ti Fan
I have benefited a lot from participating in Grandmaster JinBodhi’s “Peace, Wisdom and Longevity Chanting Class”. First of all, the first day of the chanting class enhanced my energy, and relieved my fatigue. The next day I no longer felt tired and there was sweetness in my mouth.
I am grateful to Grandmaster for guiding fellow practitioners around the world to be in unison. I sincerely chanted to Sayakmuni Buddha for all sentient beings, all things, parents and children all over the world, as well as to my mother and deceased father. Normally, most people do not acknowledge our own mistakes; instead we only remember our parent’s biases, forgetting the protection from them, and get frustrated by our own shortcomings. I am grateful for Grandmaster’s compassionate teachings, which helped me to understand my own shortcomings, repent towards my parents, and learn to be grateful to them.
I experienced spontaneous fasting on the 5th day, thanks to Grandmaster. Dedicating the merits of my sincere chanting to my late father and mother who is still living: I seek blessings from Grandmaster, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to protect my father to be reborn in the Pure Land, and resolve all karma; blessing my mother to be healthy, safe and happy! Gratitude to Grandmaster!
Participant’s Sharing #6: Peng Hui Ming
Since February this year, after I got to know of Grandmaster JinBodhi from Facebook and was touched by his compassionate energy, I never missed any of Grandmaster’s online classes! This time, for the “Peace, Wisdom and Longevity Chanting Class”, I went to Singapore Bodhi Meditation Centre every day with a grateful heart to chant with everyone.
Two months ago, my friend invited me along for a massage service. Little did I expect that the massage caused my right shoulder to hurt terribly! Although my right shoulder suffered a past injury due to exercising, it did not bother me usually. I really regretted making the pain worse; after the massage I started to experience a heavy pain on my shoulder which extended to my right arm. As I was afraid to go for further treatment, I only did some arm and shoulder relaxing exercises to relieve the pain, but I was still tortured by it.
After returning home on the third day of the chanting class, I dreamt that Grandmaster kindly said to me, “I’ll take your pain away!” I immediately stretched out my hand to Grandmaster and then woke up from the dream. Then on the fifth day when receiving the energy blessing from Grandmaster, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the pain in my right shoulder disappeared instantly! Now my right shoulder and arm feel very relaxed and can move freely. I am so grateful to Grandmaster for helping me resolve the pain of the past two months!
I would also like to share the second benefit! In the past few decades, because of the burden of family and work, I often kept a lot of grievances in my heart. On the last day of the chanting class, within a few minutes of chanting, I felt an uncontrollable emotion in my heart, and tears welled up in my eyes and kept flowing. A beautiful energy flowed through me, as if it was cleansing my body and purifying my mind! Thank you, Buddha, Bodhisattva and Grandmaster JinBodhi, for taking out all the unhappiness buried in my heart! Now my heart is open and I feel at ease, as though I am in heaven!
Participant’s Sharing #7: Fu Ya Hua
Prior to attending the chanting class, I experienced constant pain and soreness around the waist and knee. I had tried seeking help from traditional Chinese medicine but did not see much improvement. This led me to feel troubled and unhappy all the time. On the first day of the class, there was an Energy Blessing conducted by Grandmaster JinBodhi. When he said the words “the pain disappears”, I could feel as if there were little worms crawling down my waist. I felt so comfortable after that.
Now I no longer feel any pain in my waist and knee area. After these few days of chanting, my whole body felt warm and full of energy. I am also happier and able to control my emotions better now. Gratitude to Grandmaster JinBodhi and Bodhisattva!
