The holiest site in Anuradhapura, and the second holiest in all of Sri Lanka.
Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi的点评
点评：In Sri Lankan Theravada Buddhism — as we noted also regarding the Ruwanwelisaya dagoba — a holy relic (whether an object used by the Buddha or even a part of his body) is far more than a mere memento; it is an entity that guarantees the Buddha’s actual, living presence.
This holds true for the Sri Maha Bodhi in Anuradhapura as well. Because it originated from a cutting of the original Indian Bodhi tree — the tree at Bodh Gaya, Bihar, India, beneath which the Buddha is said to have attained enlightenment around 528 BC — it's considered, quite simply, to be part of the Buddha’s own body.
Its importance is such that the tree is valued even more highly than the sacred physical remains (bone or ash fragments) left after the Buddha’s cremation — remains housed in the nearby Ruwanwelisaya dagoba, which make that structure the holiest site (or, more accurately, the second-holiest site) in Anuradhapura.
Consequently, the Sri Maha Bodhi in Anuradhapura is — by all accounts — the most prestigious Buddhist relic in Sri Lanka, alongside the "Sacred Tooth" housed in the temple of the same name in Kandy.
The tree is estimated to be over 2,200 years old; the cutting from the Indian tree was reportedly brought to Sri Lanka in the 3rd century BC by Princess Sangamitta — sister of the Indian Emperor Ashoka — around the time Buddhism began to spread across the island.
Indeed, it doesn't exactly appear to be "bursting with health". One striking feature, for instance, is the long tree branch extending from the trunk just above the ground in a nearly horizontal position, and kept from collapsing only by numerous gilded metal supports holding it up.
Yet, as one might expect, none of this shakes the faith of the worshippers, who crowd the terraces built at various levels around the tree to pray.
However, when we visited the site, their numbers were relatively small compared to the gatherings that take place during "pujas" (ceremonies)

翻译：在斯里兰卡的上座部佛教中——正如我们之前在谈到鲁万韦利塞耶佛塔时所提到的那样——圣物（无论是佛陀使用过的物品，甚至是他身体的一部分）绝不仅仅是一件纪念品；它们是一种能够确保佛陀真实且鲜活地存在于世间的存在。
对于阿努拉德普勒的斯里·玛哈·菩提树而言也是如此。因为这棵树是由印度原版菩提树的枝条扦插培育而成的——也就是位于印度比哈尔邦菩提伽耶的那棵菩提树。相传佛陀于公元前528年左右在此树下证得觉悟——它显然被视为佛陀身体的一部分。
这棵树的神圣性极高，甚至比佛陀火化后留下的遗骨或骨灰更受尊崇；那些遗物被安放在附近的鲁万韦利塞耶佛塔中，正因如此，该佛塔便成了阿努拉德普勒最神圣的地点（或者更准确地说，是第二神圣的地点）。
因此，阿努拉德普勒的斯里·玛哈·博迪树——无论如何评价——都是斯里兰卡最负盛名的佛教圣物，其地位仅次于保存在康提同名寺庙中的“佛牙圣物”。
据估计，这棵树的树龄已超过2200年；据说，这棵树的枝条是由印度皇帝阿育王的妹妹桑伽密陀公主于公元前3世纪带到斯里兰卡的，那时佛教也刚刚开始在岛上传播。它看起来并不像是“生机勃勃”的样子。比如，一个显著的特征就是从树干上伸出的一根长长的树枝，几乎呈水平状态，仅靠众多镀金金属支架的支撑才没有倒下。
不过，正如人们所料，这些情况丝毫动摇不了信徒们的信仰——他们挤在围绕着大树、修建于不同高度的露台上祈祷。
然而，当我们访问该地时……与“普迦”（仪式）期间举行的集会相比，他们的人数相对较少。
