Buddhabodha (बुद्धबोध) refers to the “thought of enlightenment” [?], according to the Guru Mandala Worship (maṇḍalārcana) ritual often performed in combination with the Cakrasaṃvara Samādhi, which refers to the primary pūjā and sādhanā practice of Newah Mahāyāna-Vajrayāna Buddhists in Nepal.—Accordingly, “I bow to all Buddhas, and to the dharma spoken by the Buddha, And to the Sangha perfected in virtue, I bow to the three jewels. The three jewels are my refuge, I confess in proportion to all my sins, Rejoicing in the merit of the world, turning thought to enlightenment (buddhabodhabuddhabodhau dadhe manaḥ)”.
