Vism 116. -- p!cana ripening of knowledge (of a Buddha); adj. leading to enlightenment Bu ii. 121 sq.; Cp
i.11 (cp. J i.22). It is a late term. The b. dhamm! are the 10 perfections (p!ramiyo), i. e. d!na˚, s"la˚,
nekkhamma˚, paññ!˚, viriya˚, khanti˚, sacca˚, adhi&&h!na˚, mett!˚, upekh!˚. -- satta (1) a "bodhi -- being," i.
e. a being destined to attain fullest enlightenment or Buddhaship. A Bodhisatta passes through many
existences & many stages of progress before the last birth in which he fulfils his great destiny. The
"amh!ka' Bodhisatto," or "our Bodhisatta" of the Buddhist Texts (e. g. Vism 419 (imasmi' kappe ayam
eva Bhagav! Bodhisatta -- bh(to); DA i.259) refers to Gotama, whose previous existences are related in the
J!taka collection. These tales illustrate the wisdom & goodness of the future Buddha, whether as an animal,
a god, or a human being. In his last existence before attaining Buddhahood he is a man. Reference is made
to a Bodhisatta or the B. at very many places throughout the Canon. See e. g. M i.17, 163, 240; S ii.5;
iii.27; iv.233; v.263, 281, 317; A ii.130; iii.240; iv.302, 439; Vism 15, 116, 499; SnA 52 (pacceka˚), 67, 72.

Bodhi

which Gotama Buddha arrived at perfect knowledge. The tree is near the spot where Buddhag!ya is now,
about 60 miles fr. Patna. It is regarded by pilgrims as the centre of the world (cp. pathav" -- n!bhi mah! --
bodhima*.o Mbvs 79). It is also spoken of as Mah!bodhi (e. g. J iv.228; Vism 403). -- Vism 72, 299, 342;
