496. Bodhi tree
I just felt that I caught a perfectly round object the size of an egg in my hand in the snow. The tentacles of this object were numb and hard and not smooth, so I knew without looking that it was definitely not a pine flower stone produced here. I picked it up and took a look.
Look, I saw that the skin of this thing is black, and there are regular stripes all over the body. The outermost layer feels as rough as tree bark, and there is a small concave top on the upper and lower parts. They are not big. It looks like some kind of bird.
I held the egg in my hand and shook it. It was light and solid. I felt like it was the fruit or seed of something.
Meihui was kicking the snow nearby with her feet. There were such things everywhere under the snow. They were about the same size, and their surface was covered with a layer of rough black striped skin.
"Brother, are these the seeds of this old tree? Oh my God! It's so big, I thought if it weren't for the solid core inside, I would have thought it was a walnut."
I said it was definitely not a walnut tree. I had seen walnut trees when I was in Sichuan, but they were not this big at all. Moreover, walnut trees cannot grow in severe cold areas. Look at the skin on the outside of this big seed, which is numb and hard.
I don’t know what the fruit inside is like.
Thinking of this, I took out a small Swiss Army Knife. There was a small file in the Swiss Army Knife. I used the file to wipe off the black attachment on the surface of the big seed. I discovered that the tree species wrapped inside was very hard and completely white.
, the tentacles are round and smooth, as if they are white suet jade.
"This...I know, this is a Bodhi tree seed!" I looked up at this huge old tree. It turned out that this was a Bodhi tree, but how could the Bodhi tree grow in the northeast?
Although the bodhi tree and the banyan tree belong to the same tree species, this old tree is too big. Even the largest banyan tree in Guangdong and Hainan cannot compare with this guy. Regardless of the climate, just look at the bodhi fruit seeds it lends.
The size of the tree is at least a thousand years old. I never thought that there would be such a magical place in the Illehuli Mountain. The Bodhi tree is very picky about the growing environment and is difficult to grow in the wild. It is usually planted in temples in the south and is watered by monks.

The bodhi tree has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand; there is nothing in the beginning, so how can it cause dust. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism, wrote such a poem about the bodhi tree, which was widely circulated, so many people in later generations believed that the world
There is no bodhi tree at all. In fact, people have misunderstood his original intention. The bodhi tree not only exists, but is also called the thinking tree. It is a large evergreen tree of the genus Moraceae. Huineng wrote the phrase "There is no bodhi tree at all"
The poem is probably derived from the Buddhist theory of "the four elements are empty"! The word "Bodhi" is the transliteration of the ancient Indian language (i.e. Sanskrit) bodhi, which means enlightenment and wisdom. It is used to refer to a person who suddenly feels sleepy.
Wake up, suddenly enlightenment, break into the path of enlightenment, suddenly realize the truth, reach an otherworldly realm, etc. e-osa means sacred religion. The bodhi tree seems to be born with a deep connection with Buddhism. According to legend, more than 2,500 years ago, Buddha
Sakyamuni was originally Gautama Siddhartha, the prince of the Kapilavastu Kingdom in northern India (now in Nepal). When he was young, he resolutely gave up inheriting the throne in order to get rid of the suffering of birth, old age, illness, and death, and to save suffering sentient beings.
