Under the Bodhi tree
Still seeking a way to understand the meaning of life, Siddhartha made his way to a park. He remembered meditating under a tree when he was a child. "I shall meditate as I did before. Perhaps that is the way to become enlightened." Near a grove, he sat down under a huge Bohdi tree. Silently he vowed, "Even if my flesh and blood were to dry up, leaving only skin and bones, I will not leave this place until I find a way to end all sorrow." He sat there for forty nine days. He was determined to discover the source of all pain and suffering in the world.
