On an Unduvap Full Moon Poya Day\, Sanghamitta Theri arrived at Dambakolapatuna Port (near Jaffna) carrying a sapling of the sacred Bodhi tree from Bodh Gaya\, India. This was the very tree under which the Buddha attained Enlightenment. \nKing Devanampiya Tissa received Sanghamitta Theri and the sacred sapling with great reverence. The sapling was ceremonially planted in Anuradhapura\, in the Mahameghavana Park\, around 288 BCE. \nKnown as the Sri Maha Bodhi\, it is considered the oldest historically documented living tree in the world. The planting became a lasting symbol of Sri Lanka's role as a stronghold of Buddhism. \nSanghamitta Theri also ordained Queen Anula and her companions\, creating the Bhikkhuni Sangha (Order of Buddhist Nuns) in Sri Lanka. \nThis was a milestone for women in Buddhism\, giving them the same opportunity as men to pursue the monastic path and attain enlightenment. From Sri Lanka\, the Bhikkhuni Order later spread to other Buddhist countries.
