The Sacred Fig Tree of Nepal
When exploring Nepal, my group and I found a huge, beautiful tree that was absolutely perfect for climbing. Immediately we asked our guides if we could climb this tree. Our guides gave us permission and we immediately began to scramble into the many limbs. Upon further research about this tree we found that this tree holds incredible significance for the Nepali people, and its array of religions. This tree is called the Pipal tree, Bodhi tree, and the Sacred Fig tree; this beautiful tree is the same species of tree that Buddha found enlightenment under and the Hindu god, Vishnu, sought refuge from the demons that defeated the gods. For more information on the sacred fig tree please explore the two links listed below.
