bodhi
Siddhartha's ultimate realization
Bodhi is a Buddhist term for the awakening or enlightenment that leads to liberation from the cycle of rebirth.
The word comes from Sanskrit meaning "awakening." A bodhi tree is the type of fig tree under which the Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment.
In casual Western usage, bodhi sometimes appears as a name or suggests spiritual awareness: He's on some kind of bodhi quest.
