  • ninth century Mahayana Buddhist monument in Central Java, Indonesia. The monument comprises six square platforms topped by three circular platforms, and is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues.[1] A main dome is located at the center of the top platform, and is surrounded by seventy-two Buddha statues seated inside perforated stupa. The monument is both a shrine to the Lord Buddha and a place for Buddhist pilgrimage. The journey for pilgrims begins at the base of the monument and follows a path circumambulating the monument while ascending to the top through the three levels of Buddhist cosmology, namely, Kamadhatu (the world of desire); Rupadhatu (the world of forms); and Arupadhatu (the world of formless). During the journey, the monument guides the pilgrims through a system of stairways and corridors with 1,460 narrative relief panels on the wall and the balustrades. Evidence suggests Borobudur was abandoned following the fourteenth century decline of Buddhist and Hindu kingdoms in Java, and the Javanese conversion to Islam.[2] It was rediscovered in 1814 by Sir Thomas Raffles, the British ruler of Java. Borobudur has since been preserved through several restorations. The largest restoration project was undertaken between 1975 and 1982 by the Indonesian government and UNESCO

  • Borobudur kenangan waktu smp takkan terlupakan....SMP 2 CAMPURDARAT. sweet memories ,salam for Sulis Hariadi.
  • Borobudur proved to us that each generation had their own values. Now we witness lots of Indonesian people misunderstood "their own present values". So let us learn the values of Borobudur and its hidden treasures beneath it and make them flourish in our present new social structures of any "new imported religions from the Middle East" which sometimes do not rooted deeply in our society. It is merely superficially looking good...however...it is more or less nothing better than the "religion of our ancestors" imported from India. The question is ; why should we import religious values overseas while we have our own values decended from "our own heart" as the voice of God, Himself?! So think about it twice!
