Usage notes
According to Buddhist tradition, the Buddha was lying between a pair of sal trees when he passed away. The tree is thus a sacred tree in Buddhism and is planted at Buddhist religious sites. In Buddhist temples of China, it is often supplanted by the Chinese horse chestnut tree (Aesculus chinensis).
