The Buddha remained seated in deep meditation, fully absorbed in the peace and freedom of Enlightenment.

Week 2 – Gratitude to the Bodhi Tree
He stood gazing at the Bodhi Tree without blinking, expressing gratitude for the place where awakening occurred.

Week 3 – Walking Meditation (Ratana Cankama)
The Buddha practiced walking meditation on a jeweled path, contemplating the profound truth he had realized.

Week 4 – The Jewelled House (Ratana Ghara)
Seated in deep meditation, he reflected on the higher teachings (later associated with the Abhidhamma). It is said rays of six colors radiated from his body.

Week 5 – Under the Ajapala Nigrodha Tree
Here he answered questions about true nobility and overcame the temptations of Mara’s daughters, demonstrating purity of mind.

Week 6 – Under the Mucalinda Tree
During a great storm, the serpent king Mucalinda sheltered the Buddha with his hood, symbolizing protection of the Dhamma.

Week 7 – Under the Rajayatana Tree
The Buddha continued meditating in serenity. Soon after, the merchants Tapussa and Bhallika offered rice cakes and honey, becoming the first lay followers by taking refuge in the Buddha and the Dhamma.

These seven weeks show the depth of awakening, gratitude, wisdom, and compassion that marked the beginning of the Buddha’s teaching mission.
