Bodhi Day is the celebration of the day Siddhartha Gautama, or the Buddha, attained enlightenment. Celebrated mainly in Buddhist countries, Bodhi Day is observed on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the traditional Buddhist calendar. On this day, Buddhists recognize the enlightenment of the Buddha, and believe that he attained spiritual awakening and realized the true nature of life and suffering. Bodhi Day is a chance for Buddhists to reflect on their own spiritual journey and to honor the invaluable teachings of Siddhartha Gautama. During this day, Buddhists typically take part in meditation, readings, offerings, and other activities to honor the teachings of the Buddha.
