If I could be given an understanding of Sanskrit or ancient Hindu, I'd like to be a bird sitting on the branch of the Bodhi tree where the Buddha became enlightened. I'd like to watch him approach the tree in his unenlightened state and then see him go through the whole process of becoming an enlightened being. I'd fly after him when he got up and gave his first teaching, "The Fire Sermon." I imagine that it would all be pretty amazing stuff. I'd also like to be a moth and witness the most incredible Leonid meteor shower of all time.
