Bodhi Tree
Buddha attained enlightenment after 49 days of meditation sitting in the shade of the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya, India 2,500 years ago. Inspired by this idea, the Bodhi Tree is a sculptural intervention in the midst of the bustling environment near Union Square. The tree will emit the sound of OM at random intervals, in an attempt to bring peace, awareness and an opportunity for introspection to New York City pedestrians.
October 1-10
Tree is located on the north side of 14th Street between Seventh and Eighth Avenue.
