Quan Chunyu | Seoul, South Korea
I am Quan Chunyu from the Bodhi Meditation Center in South Korea. This Bodhi Meditation Health & Happiness Retreat has helped to resolve my lower back pain.
When I was in elementary school, I was involved in a traffic accident on my way to school and injured my back. The doctor said I had a lumbar disc herniation. Because of this, it’s hard for me to sit for long periods of time. If I sit for more than half an hour, my lower back pain will be more intense.
Consequently, I can’t meditate for more than thirty minutes at a time. When sitting, I must also lean against a wall. This back pain has caused a lot of inconvenience in my work and daily life. I’ve tried traditional Chinese acupuncture, but it only temporarily relieves the pain without treating the root cause.
A Miracle: Meditation Resolved My Lower Back Pain
Unexpectedly, after the first day of meditation practice at the retreat, I felt no pain in my back, even after sitting for more than thirty minutes. I thought to myself, “It doesn’t hurt today, but perhaps it will hurt when I practice tomorrow.” But then, the second day was pain-free, the third day too, and until now, there’s been no pain.
It’s truly miraculous! I’m extremely grateful to Grandmaster Jin Bodhi!
(The effects of meditation vary from person to person.)
