bodhgaya

sigh...It's been so long since I've blogged, but I should be happy that my life is so busy.

Word for the past couple of weeks is:

Bodhgaya

It's the place where the buddha became the Buddha - achieved enlightenment.
He sat under a tree and meditated until he got there.
I think it's a ficus tree.
The original is not there anymore, but a clone of it is... That's right, a clone.
Someone took a shoot from it and grew a new tree somewhere else. Then the original tree burned down and someone took a shoot from clone 1 and grew clone 2 in the same spot of the originator. There is also a clone in Japan.
Fresh.
I'm drinking chai.
