Bodhi seeds are the product of the Bodhi tree. The term "Bodhi" comes from Sanskrit and refers to awakening, enlightenment, and comprehensive understanding. Siddhartha Gautama attained his enlightenment under a Bodhi tree and thus became the Buddha. Since then, the Bodhi tree has been a sacred symbol in Buddhism.
