13 - Bodhi Day in Buddhism


Listen Later

The Mahayana Buddhist holiday of "Bodhi Day" celebrates the Buddha's enlightenment.  Bodhi, meaning awakened or enlightened, is the goal of all Buddhists so they can emulate what the Buddha achieved:  cutting through delusion and ignorance, realizing the truth, becoming enlightened (Bodhi), blowing out the three fires of greed, anger, and delusion, which then allows us to reside in our true, peaceful, calm, natural state of Nirvana.  Learn how we celebrate this holiday from a Western perspective to including how to repurpose a Christmas tree and lights into a "Bodhi Tree"!
