Bodhi Day
Color of the day: White Incense of the day: Rose Incense of the day: Rosemary Today is the Buddhist Bodhi Day, the day of awakening. "Bodhi" is often translated as "enlightenment." In 596 BCE, Prince Siddhartha Gautama sat under a Bo tree for seven days, meditating. On the eighth morning he awoke enlightened, and knowing the Four Noble Truths. He became the Buddha, the Enlightened One. Bodhi Day celebrates this awakening. Bodhi Day is an excellent day to meditate, especially under a tree. It is also celebrated by drinking tea, eating cake, and doing readings (divination). Today would also be a good day to try the I Ching. |
