Borobudur
temple
I
familiar with one of Buddha temples, because I visited the temple
several times, namely Borobudur. The temple is the largest Buddha
temple in the world.
Uniquely,
the temple was built by two million blocks of stones and no interior
for worship purposes.
The
base occupies around 2,500 square meters with a 123×123 meters
square in size and 4 meters in high.
The
body (wall) contains 5 square platforms, where each of the platform
was diminishing by heights.
Then,
if measured from the ground, the temple has a height of 35 meters
(115 feet). Quite higher for an ancient building.
Vertically,
the building was divided by three major divisions, they are base,
body (wall), and top.
Base
is pile of stones, like strong foundations in other historical
building in the world. Body (wall) is carved with “reliefs” to
depict daily activities of ancient Indonesia.
Stupa
(contain holy relics) on the top of Borobudur temple
On
the top of temple, there is space for Buddhists to perform their
worship. Not like other religions, Buddhist come to temple only for
certain celebrations.
The
temple is located in central Java, Indonesia. Distance is around 564
km (350 mile) from capital, Jakarta to Magelang regency or close by Jogjakarta, where Borobudur
is.
Many
public transportations provide service to visit Borobudur: planes,
trains and buses.
You
may know (heard) about Angkor Wat, Cambodia. The Angkor Wat temple
was originally Hindu’s, then transformed to Buddha.
Borobudur
is consistently used as Buddha temple since it was constructed in 850
AD until recently.
Have
you visited any Buddha temples?
I never visited any Buddha Temple but I was always interested in Buddha's teachings.
ReplyDeleteRight now I know that the largest Buddha Temple is Borobudur. You are so fortunate that you were able to visit it several times!
I see... you have opportunity to visit the temple, many plane tickets have reasonable price now..

DeleteA little errata from me, Mr. Tanza.
ReplyDeleteBorobudur Temple is not located in Yogyakarta.
However, it is located in Magelang district.
Since Yogya is a big city, it is easy to say.
DeleteYogya to Borobudur is 40 km distance
