Bodhi Day 2025. Bodhi day is observed to mark the moment that took place 2,500 years ago when siddhartha gautama achieved enlightenment and became the buddha or ‘awakened one’. In 2025, this falls on jan.
I explain the reasoning for a lunar and secular bodhi day in a blog from 2018. Bodhi day is a holiday that falls on december 8th and celebrates the day on which siddhartha gautama sat beneath the bodhi tree and attained enlightenment.
