An original dried natural fossilised Bodhi leaf in tissue & veins.
The heart of all the Buddhas. The shape of love and compassion. The color of ever changing impermanence. The feather weight of Buddha's austerity. See through as Trance, transport & transcendent nature. The veins of impulse. Part of a Joyous tree. A tree of wishes in the world of Janpudivipa under which resultant Buddha has attained enlightenment.
The heart-shaped Buddha Leaf (or Bodhi Leaf) comes from the Tree (now called the Buddha or Bodhi Tree) in Bodh Gaya, under which Siddhartha Gautama sat under to meditate, thereby reaching enlightenment. It is said that this tree was a very large fig tree. Buddha then spent one entire week in front of the tree, staring at it with unblinking eyes after his Enlightenment.
Early Indian history also depicts the god Vishnu seated among Buddha Leaves, seemingly looking out into the universe with infinite wisdom and energy. As such, the symbol has also been used to bring good, bright energy, spiritual vision and lively thoughtfulness. It can also mean the perfection of wisdom or the highest state of being that man can achieve, through diligence and meditation.
The Buddha Leaf is also considered a sacred symbol for diligence and as a reminder and inspiration that indicate the path to enlightenment. Its shape alone gives deep and mystical power that can lead to peace and help one in the search for inner awakening and awareness. It can also be a reminder of the innocence and openness that one must achieve or maintain in their mind, in order to walk the path to enlightenment.
