what made the Buddha sit resolutely under the bo tree?
Answers
Answer:
Gautama Buddha is believed to have attained enlightenment after 49 days of meditation, sitting under a Banyan tree—now known as Bodhi Tree—in Bodh Gaya, India. For seven days after being enlightened, Buddha sat under the Bodhi Tree, experiencing the happiness of freedom and peace. It is said that during the second week, Buddha kept looking at Bodhi Tree, in thanks and gratitude to the tree that had sheltered him during his struggle.
The present tree in the Bodhi Temple, Gaya is not the original tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. The original tree was cut down intially as a conspiracy. Today we tell you its story.
King Ashoka was most diligent in paying homage to the Bodhi tree. He used to spend much time in its vicinity, and held a festival every year in its honour. This attachment angered his queen, Tissarakkha, who then tried to kill the tree by putting poison in its roots.
