    THE BODHI TREE
    At the western side of the Mahabodhi temple in Bodhgaya, stands a large and historic Pipal Tree
    ficus religiosa
    , known throughout history as the Bodhi Tree, under which
    Shakyamuni Buddha
    , then known as Gautama, attained Enlightnment some 2500 years ago.
    Gautama, had been practicing austerities for six years in the area of the Niranjana river near Bodhgaya. Finally understanding that this could not lead to realization, he abandoned his austerities and in the nearby village of Senani (now also known as Sujata) the Brahmin girl
    Sujata
    offered him milk rice. Strengthened by this, he took some kusha grass for a mat and sat under the Pipal Tree facing east. He resolved not to rise until he attained Enlightenment.
    As he sat in deep meditation,
    Mara
    , Lord of Illusion, symbolizing the delusions of one's own mind tried tirelessly to distract him from his purpose. Gautama then touched the earth, calling it to bear witness to the countless lifetimes of virtue that led him to this place of Enlightenment. The earth shook confirming the truth of his words. Mara unleashed his army of demons to distract and tempt him from his purpose, but Gautama triumphed over the inner obstacles and the power of his compassion transformed the demons' weapons into flowers. His mind was utterly subdued.
