Bodhi
Bodhi is a term from Buddhism that means "enlightenment" or "awakening." It refers to the profound understanding and realization of the true nature of reality, leading to liberation from suffering and the cycle of birth and death (samsara). Achieving Bodhi involves developing wisdom, ethical conduct, and mental discipline through practices like meditation. It is considered the ultimate goal of Buddhist practice—serving as a state of perfect awareness and compassion that benefits both the individual and others.
