bodhi, (Sanskrit and Pāli: “awakening,” “enlightenment”), in Buddhism, the final Enlightenment, which puts an end to the cycle of transmigration and leads to Nirvāṇa, or spiritual release; the experience is comparable to the Satori of Zen Buddhism in Japan.
Bodhi is generally translated as "awakening" or "enlightenment," the final goal of our spiritual practice. A buddha's awakening is a state in which all defilements of the mind have been abandoned and all excellent qualities and realizations have been completed.
What does Bodhi mean? “Bodhi” comes from a verb in Sanskrit and Pali that means “to awaken” or “awakened.” In Buddhism, it’s generally understood to mean “enlightenment.” Siddhartha Gautama spent years seeking the answer to the problem of suffering.
The term bodhi (Sanskrit and Pāli, “awakening” or “enlightenment”) denotes the profound knowledge and liberation achieved by a Buddha. Derived from the root √budh (“to awaken, to know”), bodhi signifies both a deep, transformative insight into reality and the culmination of spiritual practice.
Bodhi (Pāli and Sanskrit for "enlightenment") refers to the soteriological goal of Buddhism, which is the attainment of enlightenment. The word " Buddha," itself, means one who has achieved "bodhi" ("awakening").
Bodhi (Pāli and Sanskrit. Lit. awakening) is a title given in Buddhism to the specific awakening experience attained by the Indian spiritual teacher Gautama Buddha and his disciples. It is sometimes described as complete and perfect sanity, or awareness of the true nature of the universe.
