Amazing Borobudur


Borobudur - the biggest Buddhist temple in the world ! Another world heritage (and its even older than Angkor Wat) ......

The temple was built in 3 tiers, each reprensenting a different meaning or stage in a person's life. Many stupas found all over the temple with seated buddha statute in them and if its correct, there should be 72 of them (but due to illegal activities of selling these historical items, many were stolen, destroyed or un-found).


The Amazing Sunrise at Borobudur ! Look at the sea of clouds under the shining sun ..... definately worth to get up as early as 4:00am on that day to see this.

Not forgetting the hotel that we stayed in. Its inside Borobudur park, so we can get up early to catch the sunrise .... Hotel Manohara !


The Bodhi tree - a symbol of the buddha's presence.

The practice of forgiveness is our most important contribution to the healing of the world !
