Indian Buddhist Religious Symbol: Bodhi Tree Leaf

This is an Indian leaf from a bodhi tree, or sacred fig tree. The tree is said to be descended from the tree under which the Buddha meditated on his way to enlightenment.

The Mahabodhi tree growing at the Mahabodhi Temple in India was planted in 250 BCE and is cited as a direct descendant of the original tree. The temple is a place of pilgrimage.

Buddhism a religion in which people follow the teachings of the Buddha (Siddhartha Gautama) who lived and taught about 2500 years ago. Buddhists do not believe in a personal creator god. Buddhists believe in the Four Noble Truths, including that life is suffering because we are attached to our desires, but that suffering and attachment can be ended by living according to the Noble Eight-fold Path (ex. right thinking, right working, right speaking). The holy book is called the Tripitaka. It contains the teachings of the Buddha. Buddhists believe in rebirth after death (reincarnation). Their goal is to become Enlightened, to achieve Nirvana, and break the cycle of birth and death.
