Bodhi Tree: Bodhi Tree, formerly known as Biboro Tree, is the enlightenment tree of Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. Under this tree, the Buddha realized the Tao and became a Buddha, so when he saw the Bodhi Tree, he called it Buddha Tree, Tao Tree, Awakening Tree, Dojo and Thought Tree. Everyone has Buddha nature, everyone can become a Buddha, and everyone who becomes a Buddha has his own "Bodhi". We plant bodhi trees to plant Futian for ourselves and accumulate merits. The Buddha also compared the bodhi tree to the bodhi mind, which can get rid of all the confusion of vanity, greed and ignorance, and is full of wisdom and coolness.
Cycas: Cycas is a dinosaur plant and a living fossil of plants. It is called the panda in the plant kingdom. The longest-lived Cycas grows in Sanya, with a crown of 33.4 square meters, so Cycas is a long-lived tree. Cycas represents longevity and firmness, and it is also a very meritorious thing to recognize Cycas. Cycas is a term used in Zen forest. In the Zen forest, Su Tie is often used as a metaphor to describe the wonderful use of inaction, which is completely different from thinking separately. Zen uses the metaphor of "the iron tree opens the world", and everything in the legal world is revealed in unintentional magical use. The true colors of cycad cycad are no hatred, no love, no choice, no incompetence and no naive development, which can be used to describe the shoes of Zen Buddhists that have not been destroyed or tracked. The flowering of Cycas is considered to be fixed, but it is actually changing.

Kapok tree: It is a fast-growing and strongly positive tree species. In order to gain sunshine and rain, the crown of the tree is always higher than the surrounding trees. Kapok, with its enterprising spirit and bright red flowers, is called hero tree and hero flower. Dharma, the founder of Zen Buddhism, brought a kapok cassock from India, which became a keepsake from the first ancestor to the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism.
