Bodhi Meditation New York USA 菩提禅修美国纽约

I recently attended an 8 day meditation retreat here. In the past six months, my mom and my dog both passed away. I’ve been so sad and tired. I’ve also been having stomach issues, maybe because of all that’s been happening. My doctors couldn’t find anything wrong but stomach pain was affecting me every day. After the retreat, I felt so much better: lighter and more energetic. Happily, my stomach is much better and I can eat without constant fear of stomach pain.

This meditation center is very clean, pleasant and has a friendly staff. I feel very comfortable and happy to be able to take the classes here. I have benefited from Energy Blessings sessions.

The Bodhi Meditation Center offers a one-of-a-kind practice created by the Grandmaster JinBodhi, and I'm so happy and grateful that I found it! The three-year pandemic took a toll on my health. Two friends recommended taking the seven-day chanting retreat in August 2021. The retreat changed my life. I lost more than ten pound weight, slept better, felt more energetic, and improved skin condition. Since then I have taken two more chanting retreats which have continued to improve my body and mind. I gained insights to important life lessons and started to look at my life from a new perspective. As a result, I have a better relationship with my family, friends, and the people around me. I also discovered a refreshed approach to my work. Recently, I started to practice Energy Bagua taught by the center in Central Park every morning at 7am with a group of practitioners. It is easy to learn and practice, yet offers a deep and profound experience on body and mind. At the center, I met a lot of kind people who have received great help for various issues and then given back through their volunteering services. This is another great revelation I learned here--serving the community is the integral part of practice. Only through serving, one gets to the higher level of body and mind. Teaching how to live a healthy life in both body and mind and emphasize on serving is what makes the center truly unique. Logistics-wise, the center is easy to access from the #7 train and LIRR train (Flushing Main Street stop which is the next stop from the Mets/US Open stadiums). If the practices are through lunch time, the volunteers prepare nice vegetarian lunch. The staff members are kind and friendly. Classes are offered in both Chinese and English. The head teacher, Mr. Guanshan is a seasoned practitioner with deep knowledges and years of experiences, and it is really not easy to meet such a skilled teacher who can instantaneously identify the problems a practitioner may have and guide him/her to the right path. Right now, the seven-day Energy Bagua class is offered for free. After graduating from the class, students can not only practice it at the center, but also find several parks in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens to practice with fellow practitioners.

My mom came to Bodhi Meditation New York looking for a way to relax and reset—and left feeling deeply energized and renewed. The center has a peaceful, welcoming atmosphere and the instructors are incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in your growth. The meditation classes and energy healing sessions are powerful and grounding, even for beginners. She can see why so many people speak so highly of their retreats—they’re truly something special. Whether you're new to meditation or have been practicing for years, this place offers something meaningful. Highly recommended!

I go to the Bodhi Meditation Center every weekend, the center is a place where it can help me recharging and refreshing my mind and body when I'm stressed from work and daily life. I feel happy and energized after a day of meditation in the center.👍👍❤
