Origin[edit | edit source]
Gautama Buddha was a sage who lived on the Indian subcontinent whose teachings evolved into the religion of Buddhism. Buddha, meaning the “enlightened one”, was a title of the time he gained. The son of wealthy king, he had not been exposed to suffering and sickness in his childhood. When he found out, he rejected his father’s wealth to live the life of an ascetic, detached from worldly pleasures. It is told that after meditating under a Bodhi tree during a period of starvation, he achieved Enlightenment. Buddha recorded the Four Noble Truths to remove suffering, and the mastery of them could lead to Nirvana.
Effects[edit | edit source]
The tree under which Buddha achieved enlightenment. Sitting under the tree heightens your spirituality and clears your mind, allowing you to think better. The downside is that prolonged use of the tree causes you to never want to leave, even when reduced to skin and bones.
