    Bodhi Day is a significant Buddhist holiday, usually celebrated on December 8th which commemorates Siddhartha Gautama's enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, when he became the Buddha, or "awakened one". It's a time for quiet reflection, meditation, studying Buddhist teachings (Dharma), and remembering the Buddha's path to understanding suffering, often marked by lighting candles, eating simple meals of rice and milk, and decorating homes with lights and symbolic ornaments. #BodhiDay #Rohatsu #BuddhaDay #BuddhaEnlightenment #Buddhism #Zen #SiddharthaGautama, #Enlightenment #Mindfulness #Peace #Meditation
