Vancouver Bodhi Meditation

I attended a free Buddhist chanting class. I feel very good. The staff here are very enthusiastic and sincere. Free vegetarian meals are also provided during the course. I hope someone can try the meditation courses here.

I just attended their 7 day stress relief meditation retreat and it was such a wonderful experience, I’m definitely looking forward to continuing my practice with them and am so blessed to of found them. Thank you to all staff and everyone working there to make a difference. Truly a blessing.

I have been a diabetic for 7 years. This year, on the first week of March, I registered for the Energy Bagua Beginners' class at Bodhi Meditation Center. I enjoyed learning the great exercise and continued to attend the group practices every morning. I am very happy to discover that my blood sugar has improved with the reading index from 4.5 to 6.8 for the past week. I am grateful to Grandmaster's teachings and I hope I can reverse diabetes in my body.

It was my first time and the welcome was warm and friendly. Did 1 session of walking meditation. Felt the warmth from circulation of energy in me. Very effective.

Peaceful place in the heart of Richmond. I felt so welcoming there and people are super friendly. Now there is daily Bagua practice, so called walking meditation, it boost energy, improve all over your health, I enjoy it

I am a university student here in Vancouver. I’d like to share my experience in Bodhi Meditation so if you encounter a similar situation, you know where to go.
Because of the stress and pressure from school that you can imagine, plus a heart broken break up, overwhelming negative emotions caught me in the past few years, I could barely study, let alone think about my future career. It was even hard to find a motivation to live on.
Luckily, I found Bodhi Meditation. Long story short, after practicing Energy Bagua for 3 years, all my mental and physical issues have gone! I am now healthier, stronger and more focused. I am a new person! I am so happy!
Now, meditation is an essential part of my daily life. Here I learned to be calmer, more open-minded, and tolerant in my life. This helps me communicate better with my parents and friends.

I got to know about there before I came to Canada. Many people recommended Bohdi and told me the founder — Master Jinbodhi has over 10 million followers, and many more in over 60 countries. I always have cold hands and feet so that I think their methods may help. Since I joined the daily energy bagua practice at the bodhi meditation, my body has been very much changed. I’m so happy:). My skin became fine, smooth and shiny. Sleep quality has also become better. Energy Bagua is amazing! This is a great place with nice people:). I will certainly recommend too!

Highly recommend! I have learned so many new ways to improve my day to day life and experienced the benefits in health & happiness. Easy, simple and very much appreciated. The Bodhi youtube channel is brilliant. Thank you Bodhi

It’s a wonderful place to learn meditation. It takes me out from deep depression caused from the covid. Highly recommend!

I found this place by accident when I was so much of pain on my back and neck and sleep disorder for 8 years and deep anxiety and depression. Adding to that I had relationship problems with family and friends and etc. I didn't know much about meditation but this place was the last place I could try after attempting many things to cure myself like having counseling or archipuncture or etc. Now I don't need to see any of those. I can sleep now and feel very energetic and life has been so much better for me. If you have any of problem I had, I strongly recommend to visit this very caring like family place. You are guaranteed to feel so warm inside and outside.

This is an amazing place to learn meditation and improve health—I highly recommend it! Very calming and warm atmosphere with kind, welcoming staff and practitioners. By doing their practices, I am able to stay healthy and find peace even in very stressful, tiring times. The walking meditation called Energy Bagua especially keeps me energized and prevents me from getting the flu. I noticed that I am even more confident!

Bodhi meditation is a special place. I have done multiple retreats and have followed the teachings and guidance. There are many different types of mediation, chanting, Greater illumination (standing) and Energy Bagua (tree walking). All the staff are super friendly, kind and compassionate. If your looking for a community feel, guidance for meditation and many great teachings to help with day to day life. You came to the right place. Many thanks GM

I just finished 8.5 days of meditation. What an experience. Our only son Hayden and his girlfriend Maddy were killed 7 months ago when a man ran a stop sign and my life has been turned upside down. Special friends guided me to Master JinBohdi 's centre as they knew I needed help to figure out how to go on with life and find myself. I felt like a was becoming covered in cement and it was getting harder and harder to move. Through the practice of meditation, chanting, Masters teachings and all the beautiful teachers, assistants, all other volunteers and even the other participants in our 8.5 day class I have found my smile, my brain can function and I have hope to be able to go on and find a way to live my life and honour my child and his girlfriend. Thank you to all. Please do not hesitate go to the centre and visit - see what you can achieve with some loving guidance and compassion. You are worth it.

I and my family attended the Stress Relief Class. I am sensetive to energy so I freaked out few people who dont know me. So i felt bad for the disruption I caused. One staff suggested to try diffent style. It was more pleasant experience since then. The experience I havent had before was, to be in 2 places both at the same time although Im doing the hand movements required. After 5 days, my body felt heavy in a good way. I was lazy but feel relaxed. My light headed ness went away. We went for extra healing before the class.

I was a bit skeptical at first. The first night i did it and i felt tired the next day. Then over the next few days, I started to tune in to it a bit more and that is when I started to feel the energy. Felt the energy from the universe and I felt my body is being healed especially my neck. I was in a car accident few months ago and has been unable to return to work due to the neck pain. The day after the whole retreat finished, to my surprise, my neck pain had gone down by 70%. Overall I think this is a very good meditation to practice and I will continue to practice it.

I have been attending the seven day stress relief class. I have had some interesting and positive experiences as a result of meditating every evening. The staff and volunteers are very kind and helpful, always willing to chat or answer any questions you may have.

I was initially a bit aprehensive about the Buddhist theology and philosophy about this place but it is definitely a place of healing and compassion. If you open your mind and put your heart to it, you will experience a tranformative experience. I'm on day 7 of my 8.5 day retreat and through fasting I have already lost 10.5 pounds. I can see a lot of friends that I can recommend this to to relieve their stress. I gave a four as there's always that bit of room to keep improving and people who are in pain and stress are out there needs to find peace of mind here.

Fabulous place, fabulous people at the center. An experience that everyone should partake in where they can just "be" and receive some great teachings from Master Bodhi.

Open mind, a desire to receive, and heal, and faith. This is a different style of meditation, it is more. When your life burden you, your body and soul are almost to the brims of break down, giving up hope, this place will help you see the light at the end of the tunnel. It might not be right away, but you will find out in little areas of your life, your thought, your outlook, and your body are all changing for the better. No road to wellness is smooth, first the hardship, then you taste the sweetness. Just like a baby, they need to build that foundation, but for you it will be a transformation. For some people it might be fast, for me it's slow process. It's a beautiful place, a warm place. It's not like regular meditation where you just sit, it's a happy Zen place, lots of friendly faces, who are eager to help you. They have different type of classes and meditations, such as standing meditation, sitting meditation, walking meditation, and voice meditation, and a soft aerobic meditation, and meditation to help your brain. Why provide so many different kind of style? Because we are all different. All these might call to you, or it might not be all, but follow your heart and go with it. Some of the practices are intertwined within the classes, which they call it retreats. It generally runs 7-8.5 days. And once you have learned it. You can just practice at home, and choose the practice that best suited for you. I went and took their 8.5 days retreat first almost 3 years ago, and now still in it. I do feel the difference of practicing and not practicing. Believe in the process and all that comes with it. Happiness and health is waiting for you, if you are willing to take the first step. I believe this one works because I 've tried Deepak Chopra and Oprah their online meditation and feel nothing change within me, not saying their's doesn't work, only saying that it did not for me personally, but Bodhi meditation does, and IT IS super easy to learn; like a good book, the more you do the practice and diligently, then the more amazement you will find.

I am in the 5th day of 8.5 days Happiness & Health, I feel so energize. Last night healing session was so strong and I'd never experienced anything like that in my life having been to many meditation retreats and centers. I started to come to Bodhi around end of August 2018 introduced by my neighbor. My 1st retreat was a 2 days introductory class in Sept 8 & 9 this year, I struggled through the meditation sessions due to my stomach severe discomfort that had plagued me with multiple recurring since Canada day July 1 this year and my doctors could not find out the cause. And just the night after the retreat ended my discomfort gone and the next day I went to work with one of the highest energy I'd ever remembered in my life, I didn't even feel hungry lunch time and even after my small lunch the energy stayed high and it lasted for 2 days. Now my discomfort never recurred.
Coming to Bodhi Meditation has been a pleasant experience. The volunteers are very welcoming and helpful, the retreats are well organized, the place is well run in comparing to many others retreats with different organization I had experienced. The value I get from the retreat is way exceeding to the price they charged. I highly recommend it to whomever seeking to improve their health, happiness and well being.

You can learn how to generate your own powerful energy field and relieve your physical pain through 8,5 day Health and Happiness Retreat. Excellent source of spiritual development. Very positive environment with a lot of volunteers which help you all the way through. There are very testy healthy vegetarian complimentary meals and snacks.

This place is run by volunteers and is the closest you will get to a Buddha energy center in North America. The 8.5 day retreat is highly recommended. Everyone is there to help. In the few short days I've been there I've witnessed many breakthroughs. Haven't had mine yet, but it's just a matter of time. I'm blessed to have found this place
