Event Highlights
Offering Rice · Planting the Seeds of Prosperity
With pure and respectful hearts, participants offered blessed rice, symbolizing “Offer rice and receive ten thousand taels of gold,” planting the causes for abundance and wishing for growing prosperity and wisdom.
Offering Incense · Sincere Prayers
The teacher offered incense before the sacred statue of Yellow Jambhala on behalf of everyone, praying for career success, family harmony, good health, and abundant wealth.
Chanting the Yellow Jambhala Mantra · Reflecting on His Great Vows
Everyone chanted the Yellow Jambhala mantra together; each recitation was pure, and each thought generated blessings.
Grandmaster JinBodhi taught, “If you chant, you will prosper.” These simple words greatly strengthened everyone’s faith.
We learned about Yellow Jambhala’s three great vows:
1. To support and protect Dharma practitioners
2. To help impoverished beings gain wealth, health, and longevity
3. To ensure that those who study Buddhism are not hindered in their awakening due to poverty
Everyone was deeply moved by Yellow Jambhala’s vast vows, understanding that bestowing wealth is not only for worldly prosperity but also to support spiritual cultivation and benefit all beings.
Practitioner Testimonies
Practitioner Suby
She shared her inspiring journey. In April 2025, when she made an offering to Yellow Jambhala, she was facing uncertainty as her employer was preparing to relocate and she had no job prospects ahead. Just two to three days before her employer left, she unexpectedly secured a new position and transitioned seamlessly without missing a single day of work; what was meant to be a two-week temporary job eventually became a stable opportunity.
Later, she attended the 8-Day Health and Happiness Retreat while struggling with deep depression and difficulty even leaving her home. After the class, she felt joyful and calm, and her long-term high blood pressure improved significantly—so much so that her doctor was surprised. She shared that with faith, sincere prayer, and compassion toward others, blessings unfold naturally in one’s life.
Practitioner Xiu Hua
Amid warm applause, she shared that after making offerings to Yellow Jambhala for her son, his salary increased by 15%, he received two weeks of paid leave, and his benefactor luck improved, with supportive people appearing to help him along the way.
Her son also received a “Future Pillar of Strength” keychain blessed by Grandmaster JinBodhi, symbolizing the hope that under the blessings of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, he will achieve great success in the future.
Empowerment Blessing · Perfect Fulfillment
The event concluded with Yellow Jambhala’s empowerment blessing. Everyone received it with palms joined and tied the “Tenfold Perfect Fulfillment Wish Knot,” symbolizing complete blessings and the fulfillment of aspirations.
Individual results of practice may vary.
