The Bodhi Tree is a sacred fig tree, known scientifically as Ficus religiosa, that holds immense significance in Buddhism. It is famously recognized as the tree under which Siddhartha Gautama, who later became known as the Buddha, attained enlightenment over 2,500 years ago. This tree symbolizes wisdom and spiritual awakening, making it a revered site for pilgrims and visitors. The original Bodhi Tree in Bodh Gaya, India, has been replaced by a descendant, but it continues to attract those seeking peace and enlightenment, embodying the essence of Buddhist teachings.
