Over more than ten years, Sufen’s herniated disk became increasingly painful and she found out that her intervertebral synovium was calcified.

This situation lasted for two months and she couldn't continue working. When she was at her wits end, she encountered Bodhi Meditation. After seven days at the Chanting Retreat, Sufen was able to move freely. Walking, sitting and lying down are as easy as it used to be!
