Buddha might have found all his answers through the qualities of this Bodhi tree, leading to his enlightenment.

The life of plants is an inspiration to humans - acquire those qualities for leading a complete, peaceful and happy life.

All the plants have limitations as compared to other life on Earth. But they are the ones which existed against all odds and made possible the existence of animal kingdom on the earth. Plants very existence and becoming a part of the life and energy cycles is awesome.

The animals need not be more sensible than plants.

There seems that the plant species are suffering more as compared to the animal species. But, plants accept any given situation and are always content.

Plants are givers and a source for the existence of life on earth.

Nothing is permanent and change is inevitable. This understanding is highest among the plants. The other life being mobile can be in a different space with time, to cope with the changes.

Sustainability is not possession, but a factor of continuity and expansion.

All other life hosted by a plant, become a part of the plant. For every being, there is a body and an extended body. A bird returning to its nest in a tree is always happy, its chicks are also part of the plants extended the body. The plant is protecting and caring the chicks, the parent birds trusted the tree to take care of the young chicks.

The plant’s consciousness pervades into the environment. Plants are a mute witness to the happenings around. Every cell of a plant is present and strives for the whole plant. Everything that comes in contact with plants is happy.

The calendar of events in the life of plants is related to the cosmos and the terrestrial environment.

A plant is the living symbol of the connectedness of everything from microcosmos to macrocosmos.

Even the burning wood helps one get connected to spirituality. In the plants, the fire manifests as the sun’s ultimate source of energy - through photosynthesis.

Plants consume the mother earth elements soil, water and air. There are many other life forms, which are working to sustain the plants on earth. Plants, in turn, give food, fodder, wood, fuel and oxygen.

Plants colour is green which is soothing and represents love. Their appearance and presence energise everything around.

Plants made good relationships with related fungus - sometimes the minerals and nutrients are made available to the plants by the fungus. Fungus is also a means of communication, the treads of fungus spread far and wide through an underground network, making connections between the plants at the root zone.

Some people worship plants. They tie holy threads to the plants for their wishes to come true. The plants which have multiple values had been worshipped or revered. The declarations of certain trees or grooves as sacred is globally a spiritual or religious practice.

The plants work their way steadily with energy. Their urge to exist is reflected by the energies of germinating seeds and saplings they break the soil to emerge. The purpose of plants existence is so strong that if needed roots break the strongest rocks too. The rocks are the primary source of material for soil formation. The soil is needed for the plants. The destruction and creation are manifested in this process of coexistence of biotic and abiotic aspects.

All the above qualities of plants are part of the Buddhist teachings. Then every plant must be enlightened and a Buddha. Just remembering that the Buddhist monks of Cambodia ordain some trees as monks.
