Bodhgaya, Bihar
..Gautama Buddha moved towards the village of Senani where, he was offered rice milk by a Brahmin girl, Sujata. Accepting from a grass-cutter a gift of kusa grass for a mat, the Bodhisattva took a seat under a pipal tree facing east. Here he resolved not to rise again until enlightenment was attained.
"Here on this seat my body may shrivel up,my skin, my bones, my flesh may dissolve,but my body will not move from this seat until I have attained Enlightenment,so difficult to obtain in the course of many kalpas".
The ancient Seat of Enlightenment, under the sacred 'bodhi tree' in Bodhgaya, Bihar is today the holy site of the Maha Bodhi Temple.
