Bodh Gaya: The Site of the Buddha’s Enlightenment菩提道场

孤儿泪

For centuries, religion, politics, myth, and history have converged around a small town on the banks of the Phalgu River just south of the state capital Patna in India. This extraordinary place—Bodh Gaya—is understood to be the site of the enlightenment, or “great awakening” (Sanskrit, mahabodhi), of Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha. It was here that Siddhartha Gautama sat in meditation under the Bodhi tree, having renounced his princely life to wander and practice asceticism. Here, he defeated temptation in the form of the demon Mara, and set a great world religion—Buddhism—into motion.
The historical and archaeological record at this sacred Buddhist center stretches back to at least the 3rd century B.C.E.
The city made considerable developments during the reign of the Great Emperor Ashoka who made several monasteries and stupas and Bodhgaya was flourished worldwide as a major destination for Buddhist culture and preaching’s.https://smarthistory.org/bodh-ga ... dhas-enlightenment/

In my opinion, this post clearly describes the Bodh Gaya with a combination of pictures and words. Bodh Gaya is not only a Buddhist shrine, but also the place where "Mahatma" Gandhi launched his campaign of non-violence. It is also the place where India's greatest "Ashoka" grew up.
