It is said that in the ancient Buddhist texts,<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.buddhisma2z.com/content.php?id=45 | title=Guide to Buddhism A to Z }}</ref> in order for people to make offerings in the name of the Buddha when he was away on pilgrimage, the Buddha sanctioned the planting of a seed from the Bodhi tree in Bodh Gaya in front of the gateway of [[Jetavana|Jetavana Monastery]], near Sravasti. For this purpose, [[Maudgalyayana|Moggallana]] took a fruit from the tree as it dropped from its stalk, before it reached the ground. It was planted in a golden jar by [[Anathapindika]], with great pomp and ceremony. A sapling immediately sprouted forth, fifty [[cubit]]s high, and in order to consecrate it, the Buddha spent one night under it in meditation. This tree, because it was planted under the direction of [[Ananda]], came to be known as the Ananda Bodhi.
