Things to do in Bodh Gaya

After Buddha's enlightenment, he visited seven places near the Bodhi tree, each staying for a week. The Holy Place of the First Week: Bodhi Tree and Diamond Platform. After the Buddha attained the Tao, he realized the joy of enlightenment in the Vajra seat under the Bodhi tree. The Holy Place of the Second Week: The Buddha gazed at the Bodhisattva tree for seven consecutive days in front of a spiritual house in order to repay the benefits of the Bodhisattva tree. Week 3 Holy Place: The Buddha traveled seven days to and fro in the north of the Bodhi tree, where lotus flowers emerged as lotus trails. Fourth Week Holy Place: The Buddha explores the deeper meaning of Buddhism in this seven-day meditation. The Buddha shines blue, yellow, red, white and orange during meditation. Later, Buddhism also uses these five colors as the banner of Buddhism. The Fifth Week Holy Land: The Buddha told a Brahman under the Banyan tree that human dignity does not depend on birth, but on behavior. Sixth week Holy Place: Buddha was sitting by a pool south of the Bodhisattva tree. Suddenly, the Buddha was not moved by the storm. The Dragon King appeared with his head and body as the Buddha's shelter from the wind and rain. Seventh Week Holy Place: At the end of Buddha's meditation under Rajayatang tree, two Burmese businessmen passed by and offered rice cake and honey to the Buddha. After Buddha spoke for them, he became the first vulgar disciple to convert to Buddha. It is said that later the Buddha gave them several hairs, and two disciples brought them home to build pagodas for worship. At present, Farshali is still stored in the Great Golden Pagoda of Myanmar.

The largest Buddha statue in Bodh Gaya is more than 20 meters high, which is equivalent to five or six floors. This temple is also quite large in the local area. There are many monks and apprentices in it, which are more than the number of tourists.
