In his tranced state, the spirits try to seduce him. When this doesn't work, the spirits faces melt away and disintegrate. The buddha had now passed his final test. He sat for days, in complete harmony with the world around him. he then awoke, and saw the universe in a new light. Many others have followed in the Buddha's path.

He wondered why that was so, so he started by living as an ascetic, traveling through the region looking for answers to his question. Then he decided to meditate on the question until he could discover the truth.

According to Buddhism's conventional narrative, the sacred fig tree, known as the Bodhi tree, was in the town of Bodh Gaya, India.
The Buddha achieved enlightenment while sitting under a fig tree,whose species is now called ficus religious. The specific tree is called The Bodhi tree, where Bodhi means Enlightenment.AnswerThe Buddha just before he became a Buddha as a Bodhisattva, sat under the Assattha (Pali), often called the Bodhi-tree, and thereupon attained enlightenment becoming a Buddha. There is, however, more to this. The Pali word Assattha is probably the past participle of the Pali word, 'assasati' which can literally mean "enter by the breath". This makes sense if we understand that Buddhahood is achieved by access to the fourth meditation or dhyana (Jp., Zen) which utilizes the breath to finally transcend it. Here the mind reaches its apex. Mind awakens to its own immaculate nature, hence, Buddha. That would be the "Bodhi Tree."Although there are many thoughts on this question the original tree, under which Buddha received the enlightenment was Ficus benghalensis, the Banyan.
