Bodhi Tree According to Buddhist legend, the tree under which the seated Buddha-to-be resolved to find Truth.
Apparently the future Buddha was first pursued by demons and then received what he believed were heavenly visions.
Rejecting both as temporary and thus unreal, he attained Nirvana, which for him and his followers is the ultimate, true and unchanging reality. » Buddhism
