[§8-10]  Bodhi Day.  December 8 of
each year shall be known and designated as "Bodhi Day" in recognition
that on this day Prince Siddhartha Gautama, after six years of study and
rigorous ascetic practices and meditation, attained "enlightenment"
or "awakening" to the true nature of existence, which was later
conceptualized as the "Four Noble Truths".  This day is not and shall
not be construed to be a state holiday. [L 1990, c 216, §1]
