Vancouver Bathing the Buddha Blessing Ceremony Fair: Blessed by Grandmaster JinBodhi, Cultivating Both Wisdom and Merit
The Vancouver Bodhi Meditation Center hosted a Bathing the Buddha Blessing Ceremony fair that blended sacred rituals with joyful interaction. Highlights included:
- The solemn Bathing the Buddha Blessing Ceremony
- A large thangka exhibit portraying the Buddha’s life

A massive thangka depicting the Buddha’s noble life—from birth to enlightenment and teaching—was displayed, showcasing his extraordinary journey. The sacred bathing the Buddha ritual was not just traditional—it was also a spiritual purification.
As Grandmaster often teaches:

During the event, Grandmaster JinBodhi offered one-on-one blessings and life guidance. Long lines formed as people sought advice on:
- Personal health
- Family hardships
- Prayers for their children
Grandmaster listened with compassion and offered blessings. Some attendees returned to share joyous news: new jobs, college admissions, family harmony. His kindness helped many to release worries and regain peace and happiness.

Through the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas—and Grandmaster JinBodhi’s compassionate vows—participants were guided to overcome troubles and embrace auspicious lives.
Bodhi Meditation: Fulfilling the Grandmaster’s Great Vow to Benefit All Beings
The Buddha’s birth brought light and hope to the world. Grandmaster JinBodhi, inheriting the Buddha’s compassion, devotes himself to spreading the Dharma and benefiting all beings.
The Bathing the Buddha Blessing Ceremony, held by Bodhi Meditation, reflects Grandmaster’s vow of compassion. Through sacred ceremonies, art exhibitions, and multicultural events, more people were able to encounter the Dharma and experience its wisdom and transformative power—leading to inner purification and a bright new life.
As Grandmaster JinBodhi said: “Bathing the Buddha is cleansing your past and welcoming a new beginning. With ease and joy, let us plant seeds of peace, wisdom, and kindness in our lives.”
May the light of the Dharma, guided by Grandmaster’s compassion, illuminate every corner of the world and bring blessings to countless beings!
