The Tree of Life is a powerful symbol that has appeared in various religious and spiritual traditions around the world for centuries.
In Buddhism, the bodhi tree or banyan tree (Ficus religiosa) is the tree under which Prince Siddhartha sat when he attained enlightenment in Bodh Gaya, India, approximately 2,500 years ago and became the Buddha (the Awakened One). The bodhi tree has thus become a symbol of new life in the sense of spiritual awakening.
In Chinese mythology, the tree of life is often depicted by a phoenix and a dragon, with the dragon representing immortality. A Taoist story tells of a tree that produces a peach of immortality every three thousand years. Anyone who eats the fruit will attain immortality.
Antoine-Joseph Pernety, a famous european writer and alchemist from the eighteenth century, identified the Tree of Life with the Elixir of Life and the Philosopher's Stone.
Trees play a prominent role in Germanic paganism. They appear in various surviving texts from that period and even in the names of their gods. The tree of life appears in Norse religion as Yggdrasil, the world tree that stretches across nine realms and is connected to the three magical sources of all life: the source of wisdom and knowledge, the source of the past, present, and future, and the source of space, the cosmos itself.
In Mayan culture, the tree of life was represented by a Ceiba tree. It represents the axis mundi, the stable centre of the universe.
