1st Week After Enlightenment - Under the Bodhi Tree
During the first week after enlightenment, the Buddha sat under the bodhi tree experiencing the happiness of freedom and peace.
At the end of the week, during the first watch, the Buddha arose from the state of Concentration and thoroughly reflected on the “Dependent Origination” (Paticca Samuppada) in direct order.
During the middle watch of the night, He thoroughly reflected on the “Dependent Origination” (Paticca Samuppada) in reverse order.
During the last watch of the night, He fully contemplated on the Cause and Effect of conditional phenomena both in their direct and reverse order
