Bodhi Day is the Buddhist
holiday on December 8 that commemorates the day that Gautama Buddha is said to have attained
enlightenment, also known as bodhi in Sanskrit and Pali. According to
tradition, Siddhartha had recently forsaken years of extreme ascetic practices
and resolved to sit under a peepal tree, also known as a Bodhi tree and simply
meditate until he found the root of suffering, and how to liberate oneself from
it.
