[Buddha-l] bodhi

Dear Artur

Just my guess: blame it on the 19th century :)

===========================

Dear All,

Sanskrit/Pali "bodhi" is being routinely translated as
"enlightenment".

Are there any textual reasons why this term - and not "awakening"
- is strongly preferred by the authors of the secondary (English
language) Buddhist literature?
