Bodhi (Tree of Wisdom)

The Bodhi Tree, often called the Tree of Wisdom, is a sacred symbol in Buddhism representing enlightenment and spiritual awakening. It is believed that Gautama Buddha attained full enlightenment (Bodhi) under this tree, gaining insight into the nature of suffering and the path to liberation. The Bodhi Tree symbolizes awakening, wisdom, and the pursuit of spiritual truth. It serves as a reminder of the importance of spiritual growth and the journey toward understanding oneself and the universe. In many Buddhist traditions, planting or venerating a Bodhi Tree reflects respect for this quest for wisdom.
