Borobudur dani salleh 1204573



What is Borobudur?

Borobudur is a 9th- century Mahayana Buddist monument in magelang, indonasia.

What is happening in Borobudur?


Borodubur temple is now announce as greater then pyramid because its architecture is more complicated , Czech president said.
Borobudur temple is recognized as the worlds largest Buddhist monument by the Guinness world records.
The price to enter Borobudur temple has increase by 25 to 33 percent from 1st of july 2012.
What will I see from highest and lowest of Borobudur structure?


I'm sure because i haven been there to see the Borodubur structure in Indonasia. but base on research that I have done, but from the higest point of borodubur temple you can see the central of the stupa. the stupa signify buddha's enlightenment and that is the symbol of eternity.


and the lowest structure of Borobudur is decorated with 160 reliefs shown ungly scenes of human desire and their karmic consequences.

The Indonesia's celebrate waisak. Every year, on the full moon that is usually on may or jun, the budist in Indonesia celebrates waisak in borobudur temple. Waisak day is a reminder on birthday, death and the day that siddharta gautama became the brilliant Buddha shakyamuni.  There are three events  that is called trisuci waisak . The event of waisak starts with walking from candi mendut to candi pawon and ends at candi borobudur. 

At the end of waisak night, in the full moon the  Buddhists gather around the borobudur. At that particular moment borobudur is believe that had magical and supernatural power. From the believes of the budist people on waisak day, a buddha will appear on the south peak of burabudur mountain.

What is (stupa) sculpture? Why?


A stupa literally mean heap. its like a mound(half a round)(dome)-like structure containing buddhist relics as a place of worship..


My opinion of the hero's journey in the borobudur is the steps that lead to the top of the temple. On the way up the punden berundak steps and the corridors has a story. A story of how the temple was made, the regions that was involve and the history of all that was involve in this borodubur temple. the story of the departure, initiation and return starts from the stairs. for me to write about it just based on reseach wouldn't be accurate because most the the story about the Borobudur on the internet are different as they are writen by different authors. if i were to write about the temple of the borobudur i need to be there my self and see the story my self. there's not alot of pictures on the net . just the whole temple.
