If you live in Los Angeles, and looking for many smiling people, this is the place. The staff here are very helpful and supportive. They can answer your questions from translation of lectures, songs, and chanting to food ingredients. About my chanting session experience, I have a lot to share, maybe when I finished my session. There's a lot to talk about. Thank you to all for a refreshing class. XieXie

10/5/2025 (during event) I attended Bodhi Meditation’s Happy Mid-Autumn Festival and had a truly wonderful experience. From the moment I arrived, everyone was so welcoming and kind, creating a warm and friendly atmosphere that made me feel right at home. The event was very well organized — everything flowed smoothly, and the surroundings were peaceful, clean, and beautifully arranged. You could really feel the care and thoughtfulness put into every detail. The only thing I noticed was that the riddle games seemed to be geared mainly toward Asian participants, which made it a bit difficult for others to join in and interact. It would be great if future events included games or activities that everyone could easily participate in together. Overall, it was a joyful celebration filled with positive energy and community spirit. I’m already looking forward to attending their next event! 11/19/2023 (After Event) 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. 11/19/2023 (During Event) "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." 09/2023 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.

Always come here for Thanksgiving Hotpot Feast and Buddhist celebrations- had so much fun learning and gathering with the community. They have translators that help with Chinese-English communication.

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.
