On July 11th, 2008 the conference room at Taichung Radio station was crowded with people who had come to attend the lecture on “Healthy Spirit, Mind and Body” given by Master JinBodhi. It was with a warm welcome and great enthusiasm expressed by the people who have benefited from meditation, that the lecture was initiated.

When Master took the seat on the stage, the first thing He said:” Taichung is a good place. The sky is clear, the air is fresh, the environment is beautiful. Are the people good, too?”
Audience reply: “Good”

Master said:“ When you live in a good environment for a long time, your feeling may not necessarily be good, because your feeling may be affected by your children, love and emotion. Lately, here in Taiwan, there was a very wealthy man who committed suicide.  Why would he commit suicide?  He was very wealthy, so he should be very happy. As a matter of fact, he was not happy. In other words, he had lost the goal and reason to live on.  When one loses the goal and direction to live, even though you are alive, you are walking around like a body without soul and life.”

That is why, Master JinBodhi is leading us to the true path of happiness, advising all to wholeheartedly commit to manifest the twelve vows of Medicine Buddha. This is the best Dharma to gain enlightenment and become Buddha instantly. Hopefully, everyone will learn to use your heart and love to manage your family, to build a healthy and correct attitude towards life.  Argument and disagreement between husband and wife is very common. It is easy to lose your senses and over react, thereby causing damage to both, resulting in regrets. There should be understanding, unity, care, support and giving each other space. Learn to compliment the other on how understanding they are, use forgiveness to dissolve any disagreement through allowing and understanding and experiencing the wonderful wholeness of life.

And for the parents, you are also your children’s teachers. You must teach them the right way to look at life, help them to strengthen their skills of dealing and co-operating with others.
Master said:“ The society is changing, one should form a charismatic personality with all the traits of success through self-control, good reasoning, creativity and ability to lead.  During matters of importance, if you do not exhibit your strength, opportunity will pass and dissipated energy is lost forever, but one who understands will take action without hesitation, will take control immediately and keep offering and care for each other.”

Lastly, Master JinBodhi encouraged the audience to cultivate the precepts, concentration, and wisdom. Practice good habits, maintain peace, gratitude and compassion, and this will result in wisdom.  Use the correct mental attitude and you will create energy to combat anything.
During His four hours of lectures, Master JinBodhi, in a carefree manner, with great sense of humor and using everyday life language, was getting great rapport from the audience with a lot of laughs and compliments.

Lastly, Master JinBodhi re-balanced, healed and blessed the audience.
