'''Bodhi''' ([[Pali]] and [[Sanskrit]]. Lit. ''awakening''. Trans. '''enlightenment''') is a title given in [[Buddhism]] to the specific awakening experience attained by the [[India|Indian]] spiritual teacher [[Gautama Buddha]]. It is sometimes described as complete and perfect sanity, or awareness of the true nature of the universe. After attainment, one is freed from the cycle of [[Samsara|Samsāra]]; birth, suffering, death and rebirth. |
|||
{{Authority control}} |
|||
Bodhi is attained only by the accomplishment of the [[Paramita]]s (perfections), when the [[Four Noble Truths]] are fully grasped, and when all [[karma]] has reached cessation. At this moment, all greed, aversion, delusion, ignorance, craving and ego-centered [[consciousness]] are extinguished. |

===''Pacceka-Bodhi'' (Pratyeka)=== |
|||
Those who obtain enlightenment through self-realisation, without the aid of spiritual guides and teachers, are known as [[Pratyeka Buddha]]s. According to the ''[[Tipitaka]]'', such beings only arise in ages where the [[dhamma]] has been lost. Their skill in helping others to obtain enlightenment is inferior to that of the [[Arhat]]s. Many pratyekas may arise at a single time. |
|||
===''Sāvaka-Bodhi'' (Arhat)=== |
|||
Those who study under spiritual teachers and achieve enlightenment in this world are known as Arhats. Such beings are skilled at helping others to reach enlightenment as they may draw on personal experience. |
|||
===''Sammā-Sambodhi'' (supreme Buddha)=== |
|||
These are perfect, most developed, most compassionate, most loving, all knowing beings who fully comprehend the ''dhamma'' by their own efforts and wisdom and teach it skillfully to others, freeing them from [[Samsara|Samsāra]]. |
