Thai Traditional Art Buddhist Faith Painting, "Modern Bodhi"

Golden fireflies flit thought the night, where moonlight illuminates a silvery pipal tree, a variety of fig tree that grows in India. Buddha achieved enlightenment while meditating beneath such a tree, which became known as a bodhi, or "enlightened" tree. By Saisunee, this elegant painting inspires sensations of peace and delight in nature's beauty.
