“Bodhi” Awakenment/Enlightenment (菩提)
“Bodhi “(Sanskrit: बोधि; and Pali) in Buddhism is the understanding possessed by a Buddha regarding the true nature of things. It is traditionally translated into English with the word “enlightenment” and literally means “awakened”. (The verbal root "budh" means to awaken.) Bodhi is knowledge of the causal mechanism by which beings incarnate into material form and experience suffering. Although its most common usage is in the context of Buddhism, “Bodhi” is also present as a concept in other Indian philosophies and traditions.
“Bodhi” is an abstract noun formed from the verbal root “budh” (means to awake, become aware, notice, know or understand) corresponding to the verbs “bujjhati”(Pāli) and “bodhati”or “budhyate” (Sanskrit).
“Liberation” is simultaneously freedom from “suffering” and the endless round of “existences”. Within the “Sramanic” traditions one who has attained liberation is called an “Arhat”(Sanskrit; Pali: Arahant), an honorific term meaning "worthy" acknowledging the skill and effort required to overcome the obstacles to the goal of “Nirvana”.
According to the Buddha the path to liberation is one of progressively coming out of delusion (Pali: Moha). This path is therefore regarded as a path of awakening. Progressing along the path towards Nirvana, one gains insight into the true nature of things. A Buddha is one who has attained liberation and an understanding of the causal mechanism by means of which sentient beings come into existence. This mechanism is called “Pratitya Samutpada” or dependent origination. The knowledge or understanding of this is called “Bodhi”.
In the “Suttapitaka”, the Buddhist canon as preserved in the Theravada-tradition, a number of texts can be found in which “Gautama Buddha” tells about his own awakening.
In the “Vanapattha Sutta” (Majjhima, chapter 17) the Buddha describes life in the jungle, and the attainment of awakening. After destroying the disturbances of the mind, and the concentration of the mind, he attained the three knowledge (vidhya):
1. Insight into his past lives
2. Insight into the workings of “Karma” and “Reincarnation”
3. Insight into the “Four Noble Truths”
Insight into the “Four Noble Truths” is here called “Awakening”.
The monk (Bhikkhu) has attained the unattained supreme security from bondage.
“Awakening” is also described as synonymous with “Nirvana” (The extinction of the passions whereby suffering is ended and no more rebirths take place). The insight arises that this liberation is certain:
“Knowledge arose in me, and insight: my freedom is certain; this is my last birth, now there is no rebirth”.
So “awakening” is insight into “karma” and “rebirth”, insight into the “Four Noble Truths”, the extinction of the passions whereby “Nirvana” is reached, and the certainty that liberation has been reached.
