Bodhana (nt.) [fr. bodheti] 1. knowing Miln 168 (cp. S v.83). -- 2. (adj.) enlightening, teaching Bu 26, 22<br />

(pacchima -- jana˚).<br />

bodhaneyya -- bandhavo the (Buddha's) relations (or fellowmen) who are able to be enlightened J<br />

i.345=DhA i.367; J v.335.<br />

Bodhi<br />

Bodhi1 (f.) [fr. budh, cp. Vedic bodhin -- manas having an attentive mind; RV v.75, 5; viii.82, 18]<br />

(supreme) knowledge, enlightenment, the knowledge possessed by a Buddha (see also sambodhi & samm!<br />

-- sambodhi) M i.356; ii.95=D iii.237 (saddho hoti, saddahati Tath!gatassa bodhi'); D iii.159 (anuttara'<br />

pappoti bodhi'), 165 (id.); S i.103, 196; v.197 sq.; A ii.66; VbhA 310 (def.). Bodhi consists of 7 elements<br />

called bojjhang! or sambojjhang!, and is attained by the accomplishment of the perfections called bodhi --<br />

p!can! dhamm! (see under cpds. & cp. bodhi -- pakkhiya -- dhamm!). <strong>The</strong> Buddha is said to have found<br />

the Path followed by former Buddhas, who "catusu satipa&&h!nesu supati&&hitacitt! satta -- bojjhange<br />

yath!bh(ta' bh!vetv! anuttara' samm! -- sambodhi' abhisambujjhi'su" S v.160. <strong>The</strong> moment of supreme<br />

enlightenment is the moment when the Four Truths (ariya -- sacc!ni) are grasped S v.423. Bodhi is used to<br />

express the lofty knowledge of an ascetic (Bodhi -- paribb!jaka Np. J v.229 sq.), and the stage of<br />

enlightenment of the Paccekabuddha (paccekabodhi J iii.348; pacceka -- bodhi -- ñ!*a J iv.114;<br />

paccekasambodhi SnA 73), as distinguished from samm!sambodhi. -- &&h!na the state of Bodhi, state of<br />

enlightenment. Dpvs 2.61. -- pakkhika =pakkhiya (& pakkhika, e. g. A iii.70=300; Th 1, 900; cp. bodha˚)<br />

belonging to enlightenment, usually referred to as the 37 bodhipakkhiy! dhamm! qualities or items<br />

constituting or contributing to Bodhi, which are the same as enumd under bojjhanga (q. v.). <strong>The</strong>y are<br />

enumd & discussed at Vism 678 sq. and mentioned at many other passages of the Abhidhamma, e. g. Vbh<br />

244, 249; Nett 31, 197, 240, 261; and in the Commentaries, e. g. J i.275; iii.290; v.483; DhA i.230. When<br />

they are increased to 43 they include the above with the addition of aniccasaññ!; dukkha˚, anatta˚, pah!na˚,<br />

vir!ga˚, nirodhasaññ!, thus at Nett 112, 237. In the older texts we do not find any numbered lists of the b. --<br />

p. -- dhamm!. At A iii.70 only indriyesu guttadv!rat!, bhojane mattaññut! and j!gariy' ânuyoga are<br />

mentioned in connection with bodhipakkhik! dhamm! in general. At S v.227, 239 sq. (so read in Vbh<br />

preface xiv. for 327, 337!) the term is applied to the 5 indriyas: saddh' indriya', viriy˚, sati˚, sam!dhi˚,<br />

paññ˚. A more detailed discussion of the bodhi -- p -- dhamm! and their mention in the Pi&akas is found in<br />

Mrs. Rh. D.'s preface to the Vbh edition, pp. xiv. -- xvi. Of BSk. passage may be mentioned Divy 350<br />

(saptatri'$ad -- bodhi -- pak+!n dharm!n amukh" -- k%tya pratyek!' bodhi' s!k+!tk%tavantah) & 616
