2013年3月份，騰禧的太太騰福患上了嚴重的抑鬱症，那段時間裡她終日夜不能寐，心情抑鬱痛苦，大腦裡總是無法控制地像放電影般一幕幕地出現負面的景象。不僅如此她還常覺得全身無力，走路時兩腿像棉花一樣軟綿綿的，坐立難安，茶飯不香。看過醫生吃了6個月的藥以後，也沒見一絲好轉。那時候面對每日飽受著病苦折磨的太太，騰禧是看在眼裡疼在心上，除了整天在身邊照顧她之外，也只是束手無策，唯有默默地嘆息…… 然而天無絕人之路，一個偶然的機會，騰禧在超市拿到了一本《禪修與健康》雜誌，這本雜誌深深地吸引了他。抱著一線希望，回到家後他說服了太太去試一試禪修。就這樣2013年8月底，他陪着太太一起來到禪堂參加了菩提禪修的能量調理。緊接著又參加了9月份的菩提禪修健身班。沒想到才初次體驗禪修，他的太太就驚喜地發現自己的身體竟然漸漸地輕鬆了很多，胃口變得好起來, 睡眠也有了改善！為了繼續康復身體，他們又繼續參加了多個健身班和念佛班。兩個月後，太太已從嚴重憂鬱症中完全解脫了出來！過去她每晚只能睡1個小時，而現在每天卻能睡 6小時，飯也吃得香，不僅如此她的心情變得快樂開朗了許多，經常與旁人有說又有笑。看著太太一天天的變化，騰禧也開心不已！ 在太太生病時，騰禧把注意力都放在了她身上，也從來沒有心思顧及自己的健康。然而沒想到來陪太太禪修這一年多，除了太太的抑鬱症得到康復，通過「大光明」及走「八卦」，他的身體狀況竟然也得到了改善。十多年來，由於血液不通暢，騰禧一直都有手冰凍的毛病，尤其是在冬天經常生凍瘡。不僅如此，他的鼻子過敏超過十年，經常打噴嚏流鼻水。禪修後，他發現自己過去手冰凍和鼻子的過敏竟然全部都好了！更神奇的是原先他有一頭的銀白髮，自從禪修後竟然開始漸生出黑髮來！現在的他每天的禪修時間都在2－3個小時之間，精力也越來越充沛。 對於他們夫婦而言，菩提禪修就好像是一道溫暖的陽光照進他們的世界裡。它不僅讓太太騰福從嚴重抑鬱症的痛苦中解脫出來，不再飽受病苦的折磨，而且也讓騰禧品嚐到健康的喜悅。他們的生活因禪修的出現再次回歸到幸福快樂的彼岸。為此，他們內心對金菩提宗師充滿了深深的感恩！ 除了帶給他們健康，禪修也讓他們的晚年生活充滿了無限的幸福。怀揣一份感恩之心，如今騰禧與太太騰福每天都來到禪堂做義工。在做義工的過程裡他們受益良多，感受到一種前所未有的充實和快樂。在這裡，他們希望自己可以永遠成為感恩的傳遞者，將宗師給予他們的健康和快樂，傳遞給與更多的有緣人！
A Blessed Life Health and Family Joy
By Annie Zhou
Translation by Shanti
Since being introduced to Bodhi Meditation, I have been blessed with health and joy. Not only has much of my physical pain disappeared, so has the sense of estrangement that once existed between myself and my children.
Over ten years of working in a restaurant had resulted in constant aching in both of my arms. The pain became worse after a bad fall at work in 2007. A few months of intense treatment did little to remedy my condition, and I still couldn’t lift my arms, reach my back, dress myself or even comb my hair. I would experience excruciating pain after the slightest exertion.
Things took a turn for the better after I attended Grandmaster JinBodhi’s “New Year’s Blessing Puja” in 2010. I had been drawn there by a flyer bearing the title “Health and Happiness.” At the Puja, the Master asked us to raise our hands if we were suffering from a headache, a shoulder ache or back pain. I was thrilled by the chance to receive healing from him. Afterward, I was able to lift my arms with ease. What a miracle!
I began to practice Bodhi Meditation diligently in April of 2010. After attending a Meditation and Fitness Retreat in August of that year, I could not only lift my arms but also rotate them freely! With further diligent meditation practice and frequent visits to the Center where instructors conduct healing sessions, I have overcome many illnesses that had plagued me for years. My health and energy level have greatly improved.
In addition to all the health benefits I have received by practicing Bodhi Meditation, I’ve also experienced a miraculous improvement in my relationships with my son and daughter.
When my children were only two and four, I had to leave my first marriage – which meant leaving them also – to come to the United States. They had been estranged from me since then. They rarely called. When I tried to talk to them over the phone, their attitude was distant. Our estrangement was a deep wound inside my heart over which I have shed many tears over the years. I prayed often that one day, they would let me into their lives, even if just a little bit. After talking to Master Jue-Wu about this matter, I was told that Bodhi Meditation would not only give me back my health, but also benefit me in many other aspects of life including family relationships. Encouraged by her advice, I practiced even more diligently and also started volunteering at the Center.
One day out of the blue in June of 2010, I received a phone call from my ex-husband in which he informed me that my son would be coming to the United States to take the exam required to become an airplane mechanic. He asked if I could take care of him. The three days that my son spent with me are probably the happiest days of my life. I was overjoyed that I could cook meals – including his favorite dumplings – for him again. I couldn’t help smiling when I watched him enjoying my cooking. During that year, my son had the opportunity to visit twice and our relationship drastically improved. He agreed to try to help open the lines of communication between myself and my daughter.
I waited patiently to hear back from her but as the end of the year approached nothing had changed. In December of 2010 I went to the Center yet again to pray. Shortly afterward, I called my daughter and she actually carried on a forty-minute conversation with me! My heart melted when she gently called me “Mom.” I wished I could travel through the telephone line to give her a hug.
I’ve been in close contact with my son and daughter ever since. I’m eternally grateful to Bodhi Meditation for giving me back the most precious gifts in my life – my beloved children.
