The Paliword Sambojjhaæga is a combination of two words, Sambodi and Aæga. Samodi means normally "enlightenment", but in this context it also means the through knowledge of the Dhamma, the through knowledge of the objects of meditation, which are nāma and rupa.

Vipassanā

Sakka-panha Sutta (DN 21) -- Sakka's Questions (excerpt). Sakka, the deva-king, asks the Buddha about the sources of conflict & hostility, and about the path of practice that brings them to an end. This discourse ends with a humorous account about Sakka's frustration in trying to learn the Dhamma from other contemplatives. It's hard to find a teacher when you're a king.

The symbol of Buddhist flag and its colors

The Buddhist Flag, first hoisted in 1885 in Sri Lanka, is a symbol of faith and peace used throughout the world to represent the Buddhist faith. The six colours; Blue (nila), Yellow (pita), Red (lohita), White (odata), Scarlet
(manjestha), and the mixture of these six colours(prabaswara) of the flag represent the colours of the aura that emanated from the body of the Buddha when He attained Enlightenment under the Bodhi Tree. The Horizontal Stripes represent the races of the world living in harmony and the Vertical Stripes represent eternal world peace. The colours symbolize the perfection of Buddhahood and the Dharma.

The Blue light that radiated from the Buddha's hair symbolises the spirit of Universal Compassion for all beings.
