In Buddhism
Chinese Buddhism
菩提道場 [pu ti dao chang]—bodhimaṇḍa, the bodhi-site, or plot or seat which raised itself where Śākyamuni attained Buddhahood. It is said to be diamond-like, the navel or centre of the earth; every bodhisattva sits down on such a seat before becoming Buddha.
[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
菩提道場 [pu ti dao chang]—Bodhimaṇḍa — [Miscellaneous Term] Bodhimaṇḍa refers to the site where the Buddha achieved Bodhi (菩提 [pu ti]). Specifically, it is the Vajrasana (金剛座 [jin gang zuo]), also known as the Diamond Throne, located under the Bodhi Tree (菩提樹 [pu ti shu]) by the Nairanjana River (尼連禪河 [ni lian chan he]) in the ancient Magadha Kingdom (摩竭陀國 [mo jie tuo guo]). Because Shakyamuni Buddha (釋尊 [shi zun]) attained Buddhahood (成道 [cheng dao]) here, it is therefore known as the Bodhimaṇḍa.
菩提道場—【雜名】Bodhimaṇḍa，佛成就菩提之道場也。在摩竭陀國尼連禪河邊，菩提樹下之金剛座是也。釋尊於此成道，故謂之菩提道場。
