a Buddha (see also sambodhi & samma-sambodhi) M

(def.). Bodhi consists of 7 elements called bojjhanga or
sambojjhanga, and is attained by the accomplisjiment
of the
under
perfections called bodhi-pacana dhamma
cpds. & cp. bodhi-pakkhiya-dhamma).

The
Buddha is said to have found the Path followed by former
Buddhas, who " catusu satipatthanesu supatitthitacitta

sammi-sambodhir] abhisambujjhigsu " S v. 160. The
moment of supreme enlightenment is the moment when
the Four Truths (ariya-saccani) are grasped S v. 423.
Bodhi is used to express the lofty knowledge of an
ascetic (Bodhi-paribbajaka Np. J
v. 229 sq.), and the
stage of enlightenment of the Paccekabuddha (paccekabodhi
J ni.348 pacceka-bodhi-nana ; J iv.i 14 pacceka-
;
sambodhi SnA 73), as distinguished from sammasambodhi.
-tthana the state of Bodhi, state of enlightenment.
Dpvs 25. -pakkhika = pakkhiya {& pakkhika, e. g.
A 111.70=300; Th I. 900; cp. bodha") belonging to
enlightenment, usually referred to as the 37 bodhipakkhiya
dhamma qualities or items constituting or
contributing to Bodhi, which are the same as enum''
under bojjhanga (q. v.). They are enum'' & discussed
at Vism 678 sq. and mentioned at many other passages
of the Abhidhamma. e. g. Vbh 244. 249 ; Nett 31, 197.
240. 261 ; and in the Commentaries, e. g. J 1.275 ;
111.290 ; v. 483 ; DhA 1.230. When they are increased to
43 they include the above with the addition of aniccasafina
; dukkha", anatta", pahana", viraga", nirodhasanfia,
thus at Nett 112. 237. In the older texts we
do not find any numbered lists of the b. -p. -dhamma.
At A 111.70 only indriyesu guttadvarata, bhojane
mattannuta and jagariy' anuyoga are mentioned in
connection with bodhipakkhikii dhamma in general.
At S V.227. 239 sq. (so read in Vbh preface xiv. for 327,
.V??!) the term is £tpplied to the 5 indriyas : saddh'
indriyai). viriy". sati°, samadhi^, pafin°. A more
detailed discussion of the bodhi-p-dhamma and their
mention in the Pitakas is found in Mrs. Rh. D.'s preface
to the Vbh edition, pp. xiv.-xvi. Of BSk. passage may
be mentioned Divy 350 (saptatrigsad-bodhi-paksan

krtavantah) & 616 (bodhipak.sags tan dharman Bhagavan

" bodhi-being." i. e. a being destined to attain fullest
enlightenment or Buddhaship. A Bodhisatta passes
through many existences & many stages of progress
before the last birth in which he fulfils his great destiny.
The " amhakai) Bodhisatto." or " our Bodhisatta " of
the Buddhist Texts (e. g. Vism 419 (imasmir)
ayam eva Bhagava Bodhisatta-bhiito) ; DA
kappe

refers to Gotama. whose previous existences are related
in the Jataka collection. These tales illustrate the
wisdom & goodness of the future Buddha, whether as
an animal, a god. or a human being. In his last existence
before attaining Buddhahood he is a man. Reference
is made to a Bodhisatta or the B. at very many
places throughout the Canon. See e. g. M 1.17, 163,
240; S 11.5; 111.27; IV. ; 233 V.263, 281, 317; A II. 130;

the fig tree (Assattha, Ficus religiosa) under which
Gotama Buddha arrived at perfect knowledge. The

60 miles fr. Patna. It is regarded by pilgrims as the
centre of the world (cp. pathavi-nabhi maha-bodhimando
