borobudur Ng Pei Keat 1006795

Borobudur is a famous buddhist temple whic located in java. It is believed to be existed during 9th century. It built during the reign if Sailendra Dynasty . In Indonesian, locals called ancient temples as candi, thus refer to orobudur temple as Candi borobudur.

My research has found that the borobudur is located between two twin volcanoes and two rivers. It was discovered that the three buddhist temples in the region, which is Borobudur, Pawon and Mendut, they are positioned in a straight line. A ritual relationship between the temples must have existed, but the exact ritual process is still unknown. another unknown facts is the abandonment of the temple.  Borobudur lay hidden for centuries under layers of volcanic ash and growth of the jungle. There is 160 hidden panels that do not form a continuous story but each panel provides a complete illustration of cause and effect, which known as ''Karma''. Which used to be remind people that do not do something bad because what u did to people will come back to you. This is the law of karma (karmavibhangga). There is many various Buddhas statues can be found in the Borobudur temple. I personally believed that the Borobudur had it's brilliant time in the region before. But why it had been abandoned, it is still a unknown, i hope that one day it will be found out.  A lot of questions are waiting for us to discover, i believed a lot of myth must be hidden behind the story of this temple. Me, as a chinese , i think i should go there to explore in some day.
