Bo Tree, Bodhi Tree (Skt.,
bodhi, ‘enlightenment’). The tree (
ficus religiosa) under which the
Buddha is believed to have gained enlightenment. Situated in Bodhgaya, Bihar, the present tree is not particularly large and is unlikely to be the original.
It became customary to plant a Bodhi Tree (a cutting when possible), usually surrounded by a low railing, in the courtyard of a
vihāra to signify the presence of the
Dharma, and this practice continues to the present day.
