From the early dawn of Day One at six in the morning,
through Day Two and Day Three as blessings continued to rise,
Bodhi Meditation New York was filled for three consecutive days with curling incense, resonant chanting, gathered crowds, and festive joy.
With the solemn lighting of the very first incense of the New Year,
the auspicious energy of the Year of the Horse unfolded fully in brightness and joy.
Blessings rose and flourished, filling both inside and outside the Center with gratitude and heartfelt well-wishes.
Across the three days of celebration, each day grew ever more sacred, joyous, and complete.
All of these auspicious accomplishments
were made possible through the compassionate blessings and protection of Grandmaster JinBodhi.
With heartfelt gratitude to our Grandmaster for establishing this sacred place,
we were able, during these three precious New Year days, to widely plant fields of merit and form countless wholesome affinities.
For three consecutive days, disciples, practitioners, and guests joyfully returned “home” —
Praying for peace, health, longevity, and auspiciousness for their families;
Seeking awakened wisdom and success in both studies and careers for their children;
Welcoming renewed fortune, increased blessings, and a fresh new beginning for the year ahead.
✨ Three Buddhas and Bodhisattvas bestowed special empowerment blessings:
💙 Medicine Buddha — safeguarding health, dispelling calamities, and extending longevity
📖 Manjushri Bodhisattva — awakening wisdom and supporting steady, diligent progress
💰 Yellow Jambhala — increasing blessings and wealth, with abundant prosperity flowing in
Across all three days, the celebration was vibrant and full of joyful activities:
💰 Fortune Mother Coins · Scooping up gold to welcome wealth and good fortune
🍚 Blessed Rice · Blessings for abundance and sufficiency throughout the year
🔮 Medicine Buddha Oracle Lots · Guidance and clarity for the path ahead
🐎 Year of the Horse Fortune Reading · Opening the year with strength and auspicious momentum
❤️ Red Strings for Love · Blessings for harmonious and fulfilling relationships
Laughter and joyful voices filled the halls.
Beyond the festive spirit of the New Year,
the entire Center was radiant with light and brimming with vibrant energy.
We warmly and sincerely welcome everyone to step into the Center,
and bring home health, wisdom, prosperity, and happiness in abundance.
