Bodhi Day - a day of remembrance and meditation
BonsaiDoug
Simply, on the path. Veteran
Today is Bodhi Day. The day celebrating The Buddha attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
There are many ways to celebrate this day, but certainly it is a day for remembrance, and meditation on the days significance.
In the Lotus Sutra, Sakyamuni Buddha stated, “For many hundreds of thousands of billions of countless eons, I studied and practiced the Dharma difficult to obtain, and [finally attained] perfect and complete enlightenment. Now I will transmit the Dharma to you.” For Sakyamuni Buddha’s efforts and determination, his great generosity and compassion, and most importantly for his gift of the Dharma which he realized beneath that Bodhi tree (Ficus Religiosa) 2,500 years ago, we recognize this day in celebration.
