Issue Notice:


Sal Tree is related to the events of the Buddha's birth, enlightenment and death.
He was born under the Sal tree and sat under the shade before attaining enlightenment under the Bodhi tree.
He later passed away under a pair of Sal trees. Dok Montarop in the Buddha's time was said to be
a celestial flower from heaven. It appears only when Lord Buddha entered his mother's womb,
when he was born, attained enlightenment, performed miracles and later on until his passing.
The angels blessed these flowers to fall onto the human world. Jig (Mukhalind) and Ket (Rajayatana)
flowers also appeared when the Buddha attained enlightenment to become Lord Buddha.
He sat down and enjoyed bliss (happiness from liberation) under the shade of 4 different types of trees.
Each tree for 7 days includes Bodhi tree. Banyan tree, Mughalin tree (Jig) and Rajatana (Ket) tree.
