这棵神圣的无花果树是从佛陀自己的菩提树上砍下来的，据说是世界上有历史记录的最古老的树。

概述

Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi 是阿努拉德普勒圣城中心的一棵神圣的无花果，由佛陀在菩提迦耶获得启蒙的那棵树的一根树枝上繁衍生息。它周围环绕着经幡和金色栏杆，并由一代又一代的守护者守护，是佛教最受尊敬的现存文物之一。身穿白衣的香客全天聚集在这里进行祭祀。

历史

The sapling was brought to Sri Lanka in the 3rd century BCE by the nun Sangamitta, daughter of Emperor Ashoka, and planted by King Devanampiya Tissa, giving it a continuous documented history of more than 2,300 years. It has been protected and venerated ever since, making it the oldest living human-planted tree with a known planting date.
