Bodh Gaya

Bodh Gaya, the Place where the Buddha became enlightened. I visited many temples, including the Maha Bodhi Temple. This is where the original Bodhi tree, under which Buddha first became enlightened, resides. It is estimated that this tree is about 3000 years old. This picture doesnt make it seem quite as old as the previous statement does, but its really not that big. It does however look like the best climbing/napping tree in the world. (dear csw administration, please note that trees are meant to be climbed and napped/read in. If you have ever read the giving tree you would know that with moderation trees are here for us, climbing included. We should most definitively plant a Bodhi tree on the quad. (seniors maybe that should be our gift????) All csw students who read this, please organize a tree-in before social norms make it unacceptable to climb trees.) the other pictures in here are of various monuments and temple in Bodh Gaya. Plus a cool trashcan I found. (yes the penguin is a trashcan)
